By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Cooking Time 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.
