A creamy butter bean mash blended with roasted garlic, served on toasted bread topped with cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and sesame seeds. It's a delicious and healthy alternative to avocado toast, perfect for a tasty breakfast or brunch.
1: Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 425°F.
2: Slice 1/2 cm (1/4") from the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves and add the bulb to a small tray along with the cherry tomatoes.
3: Drizzle a splash of olive oil over both the bulb and the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
4: Cover the garlic bulb tightly with baking paper and add the tray to the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
5: Carefully remove the bulb from the tray and leave it to cool for a few minutes, then squeeze out the cloves into a food processor.
6: Add the butter beans, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and generous pinches of salt and pepper to the food processor.
7: Blend the butter beans into a mash, drizzling in cold water until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
8: Toast the bread.
9: Plate up by scooping the mash on top of the toast, followed by some roasted cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of pepper, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
10: Store any leftover butter bean mash in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
