Method
- Crush or whizz together 3 garlic cloves, the rosemary and the parsley with the olive oil and a splash of water using a pestle and mortar or mini food processor.
- Cook half the garlic-rosemary paste in a non-stick frying pan for 3 minutes over a low heat. Add the beans and toss to coat thoroughly, then cook until heated through. Roughly crush the beans with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole. Stir in the salad onions and peas.
- Toast or grill the bread, then rub each slice with the remaining garlic clove. Spread with the bean mash, then top with a little of the remaining garlic-rosemary paste.
