Cheesy beans on toast

Ingredients

• 45g (3 tbsp) canned five bean salad, no added sugar and salt, drained
• 10g full fat hard cheese, grated
• 1x small slices wholemeal bread
• 1tsp vegetable oil spread butter
• ¼ small red pepper, washed and sliced into sticks

Try heating up the beans (1-2mins) before mashing with cheese to serve them warm.

Method

1. Blend or mash the beans and cheese together in a bowl until smooth with soft lumps
2. Steam (or boil) the red pepper sticks for approx. 3-5 minutes until soft.
3. Toast the bread, then thinly spread with butter and cut into fingers
4. Place the bean mixture into a bowl, and serve with toast fingers and red pepper sticks on the side.
5. Place the leftover beans into a bowl, cover and store in fridge for up to 2 days. You could make the mashed beans again or add the leftover beans to your evening meal such as in a soup, casserole, stew or curry.
