Jazz up this all-day staple dish with some cumin, coriander and semi-dried tomatoes then serve on hot buttered wholemeal bread

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Main course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs
4 small slices of bread , preferably wholemeal (sliced from a loaf)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , halved and sliced
½ tsp ground cumin , plus extra to serve
½ tsp ground coriander
85g semi-dred tomato from a jar, chopped if large
400g can baked beans (we used a lower salt and sugar variety)
butter , for spreading (optional)
fresh chopped coriander or parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Put a frying pan of water on to boil for the eggs, and toast the bread. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and gently cook for a few mins until it softens. Sprinkle the spices into the pan and stir briefly to toast them. Tip in the tomatoes and beans, and warm through.
  • Turn down the heat under the frying pan so that the water is just simmering, then crack in the eggs and gently poach them until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny. Pile the beans onto the toast (you can butter the slices or leave them plain), place the eggs on top and sprinkle with extra cumin. If you have any fresh herbs around like coriander or parsley, you can sprinkle them on, too.

SMOKY BEANS AND GREENS ON TOAST



Smoky Beans and Greens on Toast image

Beans and greens are great on almost every carb: in tortillas as tacos, over rice, on flatbread. They're also good without any carb at all, served in a bowl as a side. But whenever skillet-fried toast is an option, I take it. This is dinner food for me, but it also makes a good brunch with a fried egg on each plate.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (1-inch-thick) slices crusty country bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces (about 4 strips) smoked bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons smoked paprika, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 large bunch or 2 small bunches (about 8 ounces total) lacinato kale, stems re-moved and leaves torn into medium-size pieces, washed, and shaken dry (there should be a little water still clinging to the leaves)
3 1/2 cups drained Cannellini Beans with Sweet Paprika and Garlic or 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups bean broth or water

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium. Brush the bread on both sides with the olive oil. Lay the bread in the skillet and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until crisp and golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. (If your slices are large, you may have to do this in two batches.) Set the bread aside.
  • Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until it has browned a little and rendered at least a tablespoon of fat, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it has softened and turned golden, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme (if using), red pepper flakes, and, if you're using canned beans, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and cook, stirring, for a minute or two.
  • Add the slightly wet kale in batches, using tongs to stir the leaves into the onion mixture; wait for one handful of kale to wilt and shrink before adding the next. When the last of the greens has been added, add the beans and broth. Raise the heat and let the beans and greens simmer for a minute or two, just to warm the beans and bring the flavors together. Taste and add more kosher salt if necessary.
  • Serve the greens and beans over the toast in wide, shallow bowls, dusted with a little more smoked paprika.

Provided by Claire Thomson

Categories     Dinner

Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp vegetable oil or other oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika, plus extra for sprinkling
1 tsp ground cumin
chipotle chilli paste, to taste, or use chilli flakes (optional)
200g can chopped tomatoes or passata
2 x 400g cans beans of your choice (kidney and cannellini work well), drained and rinsed
4-8 slices crusty bread
150g grated cheddar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 8-10 mins until softened and slightly caramelised. Add the garlic and spices, the chipotle chilli paste or chilli flakes, if using, and some seasoning. Fry for a few minutes more until the mixture is fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes, then swirl out the pan using 100ml water and add this too. Simmer for 10-15 mins until the mixture has thickened. Blitz the sauce using a hand blender, then taste for seasoning. Tip in the beans and mix well to coat. Warm through over a medium heat for 5 mins until the beans are piping hot.
  • Heat the grill to high and toast the bread slices for 3-5 mins. Top with the beans and grated cheese, and pop under the grill until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Sprinkle with a little paprika and serve immediately.

  • Don't skimp on the cheese: The cheese is what makes this dish so decadent and delicious. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Add some heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the beans. You could also top the dish with a dollop of hot sauce.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better under the beans and cheese. Plus, it adds a nice flavor and texture.
  • Serve immediately: Cheesy beans on toast is best served hot and fresh. So, make sure to eat it as soon as it's ready.
