As noted in my hummus recipe, I've come to enjoy eating beans on a regular basis hummus Roasted Red Pepper and Hummus or Apple and Hummus Triangle Pita Sandwiches. As a native of New England, I knew about baked beans and brown bread but didn't know about beans on toast until two years ago while watching the series “Food: Delicious Science”. The simplicity intrigued me.
White Beans on Toast for One or Two
2 slices of toast
butter
½ cup white beans (white kidney or great northern recommended)
garlic powder (optional)
If using canned beans, drain and rinse beans. If using dried beans, soak and cook beans according to package.
Toast bread to desired brownness. Butter toast and let it sit for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow butter to melt.
Put half of beans on slice of toast and remaining half on other lightly sprinkling garlic powder on top if desired, or put all beans on one slice of toast sprinkling garlic powder on top if desired and placing other slice buttered side down on top.
