THE PERFECT BEANS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Place both slices of white bread in toaster.
• Warm beans on the hob for 3 - 4 mins stirring constantly.
• Grate cheese.
• Place toast on plate. Pour on beans.
• Sprinkle with cheese according to taste.

BEANS AND GARLIC TOAST IN BROTH

Steps:

• If you remember, soak the beans in cold water overnight, or for 10 to 12 hours. Rinse beans, and place in a large heavy-bottomed pot with onion, garlic, Parmesan rinds, olive oil and salt. Cover beans with water, so the water level is a couple of inches above the beans, and bring to a boil, then turn heat down so it's simmering gently. Put a lid on the pot, and cook until beans are tender, adding more water as needed to keep the beans submerged. This could take 1 to 2 hours or more, depending on the beans and whether or not you soaked them. (If you're using an electric pressure cooker: Add 5 cups water, set the machine to high pressure and cook for 25 minutes, then allow the machine to slowly depressurize on its own.)
• Use a spoon to fish out the onion, garlic and cheese rinds; discard. Taste a couple of beans along with the broth. It should be opaque and slightly creamy; adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
• Brush both sides of each piece of bread with olive oil, and place on a foil-lined sheet pan. Run the pan under the broiler for 2 minutes, so the bread is crisp at the edges and nicely toasted, then flip bread and repeat. While the bread is still hot, rub a garlic clove along one side of each piece, as if you were grating the garlic on the bread, pushing just firmly enough for the clove to fray and dissolve slightly into the bread.
• To assemble, place a piece of bread at the bottom of four wide, shallow bowls and ladle hot beans and broth on top. Wait a few seconds for the bread to absorb some broth, then ladle a little extra on each one, so it's swimming. Garnish the bowls generously: Drizzle olive oil all over the beans, sprinkle with herbs and flaky sea salt, cover with finely grated Parmesan and grind a little black pepper on top.

CHEESY BEANS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Put the beans in a saucepan and warm over medium heat until beginning to bubble.
• Meanwhile toast the bread.
• Once toasted, butter the bread and place slices side by side on a plate.
• Pour the heated beans over the bread.
• Scatter the grated cheese over the top and serve!
• Some people add worcestershire sauce or hot sauce over the top at this stage. Personally I like it just as it is!

BRITISH BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Mix in tomato paste, vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until well combined. Pour in beans and broth, and cook until beans are coated and the sauce starts to reduce, about 15 minutes. The beans still should be saucy, not too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

SIMPLE BEANS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the garlic, onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant but not browned, about 8 minutes.
• Add the beans and enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil; cook for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer (bubbles just barely breaking the surface), partly cover and cook until the pot stops smelling like the aromatics and starts smelling like the beans, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Add more water if necessary to keep the beans fully submerged. Gently stir in kosher salt and continue cooking until the beans are creamy in texture but not bursting, 10 to 45 minutes more.
• Drain the beans, reserving the tasty cooking liquid for another purpose, such as a base for soup or a vehicle for egg poaching. You can store leftover beans in their cooking liquid in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Toast the bread and then butter each piece. Spoon about 1/2 cup beans onto each piece of toast and coarsely crush with a fork. Divide the remaining whole beans among the toasts (about 1/4 cup per toast). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste.
