Tomato bread with butter-bean purée

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
15 minutes
2 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 small loaf crusty French bread
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
  • For the butter-bean puree, blend:

  • 1 x 400 g can butter beans, drained
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 cup coriander
  • 4 T extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Slice the French loaf lengthways into thin slices. Rub the cut side of a clove of garlic over the surface of the bread, then drizzle with olive oil and lightly toast until golden.
Generously spread the butter-bean purée onto the toasted bread and top with a spoon of chopped tomato.

Cook's note: Fresh and full of flavours, this dish is a breakfast staple in Spain, where it’s called pan con tomate. Enjoy it on its own or partner it with this silky bean purée or bean pesto spread. It also makes a superb pre-dinner snack.
