Ingredients

4 garlic cloves
½ tbsp roughly chopped
fresh rosemary
1 tbsp fresh parsley leaves
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
400g tin cannellini beans,
drained and rinsed
2 salad onions, sliced
30g frozen peas, defrosted
4 thick slices seeded bread

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.
