CREAMY HARISSA BEANS ON TOAST

olive oil

red onion, finely diced

garlic

butter beans

tomato paste

tsp harissa spice

oregano

cream

lemon

basil

crusty bread of your choice, toasted

Saute the onion in olive oil for 5-7 minutes so it starts to become caramelised. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for another minute.

Add the can of beans along with their liquid and use that to deglaze the pan. Stir through the harissa, oregano and cream and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes (depending on how much time you have).

While the beans are simmering, toast your bread.

Stir through the fresh lemon and serve topped with basil.

These flavorful creamy beans in a white wine and sundried tomato sauce are an easy vegetarian dinner or side dish! This recipe works with any type of beans: white beans, borlotti beans or kidney beans are all good choices. Serve with bread, sweet potatoes or grains for a simple meal.

Creamy "Marry Me" Bean Bake

shallots (sliced)

tomatoes

tsp red pepper or chili flakes

sage

thyme

tsp smoked paprika

white wine

vegetable stock

oz canned beans (drained)

heavy (double) cream

parmesan, pecorino cheese (grated)

baby spinach (chopped)

basil (chopped)

mozzarella (for topping)

Preheat the oven to 220C / 450F.

Heat a couple spoonfuls of the oil from the jar of sundried tomatoes in a cast iron skillet (or any pan that can go between the stove and the oven) over a low-medium heat.Saute the shallots until soft, then add the garlic and saute until just fragrant.

Add the sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, sage, thyme and smoked paprika. Saute until the herbs are fragrant.

Add the white wine and let it bubble for a few minutes until the harshest alcohol smell has passed and the amount is reducing a little.

Add the cream and cheese, stir through until the cheese has melted and a sauce has formed. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the beans, spinach and basil, and mix through the sauce. Assess the thickness of the sauce and add in the vegetable stock until it is fairly runny (a little runnier than you would like - it will thicken up in the oven). You may need a little more or less stock than the recipe states depending on how much your wine cooked down, and how thick your cream is.

Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and bake for 15 minutes, until bubbling and crisp. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then serve.
