Beans on Toast, Bright and Briny Version

If I had to guess, I would say you bought a jar of beans and now you’re wondering what in the world you should do with them. Welcome! We’re glad to have you! 

Beans are an amazing addition to your diet, but it can sometimes be hard to come up with creative, interesting, flavorful ways of including them in your meals. If this is you, you have come to the right spot. If you have lots of bean recipes already, but you can never have enough, you have also come to the right spot. 

One thing we promise: We will not write a novel before each recipe. You’re here for the recipes. We will give you the recipes. Speaking of…

Let’s start with Version 1.0 of Beans on Toast!

(Sauce adapted from this recipe: https://food52.com/recipes/22353-italian-salsa-verde)

Yields: 4 servings

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 jar (19 oz) Organic White Impulse Beans
  • 4 slices high-quality bread (levain or sourdough, preferably)
  • 3 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic, smashed and minced
  • ½ tsp dried marjoram
  • ½ tsp dried aleppo pepper (can substitute red chili flakes)
  • 1 Tbsp capers, drained and minced
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

WHAT YOU DO:

  1. Heat the beans:
    Pour the jar of white beans into a bowl and microwave for approximately 1 minute, or put them in a small saucepan on the stove and heat through.
  2. Make the sauce:
    Combine the 3 Tbsp parsley, 1 tsp garlic, ½ tsp marjoram, ½ tsp aleppo pepper, 1 Tbsp capers, 2 Tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl until well mixed. Slowly whisk in the 4 Tbsp olive oil. Then season with salt to taste.
  3. Make the toast:
     Either a) toast the bread slices in a toaster; or b) grill the bread slices after brushing with additional olive oil; or c) crisp the bread slices in a cast-iron pan after brushing with additional olive oil. Make sure they are crispy but not burnt.
  4. Put it together:
    Mix the sauce with the heated beans. Then top the toast with the saucy beans. Top with additional olive oil and flaky salt, if desired.
