Pizza Beans On Toast Recipes

SIMPLE BEANS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the garlic, onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant but not browned, about 8 minutes.
• Add the beans and enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil; cook for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer (bubbles just barely breaking the surface), partly cover and cook until the pot stops smelling like the aromatics and starts smelling like the beans, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Add more water if necessary to keep the beans fully submerged. Gently stir in kosher salt and continue cooking until the beans are creamy in texture but not bursting, 10 to 45 minutes more.
• Drain the beans, reserving the tasty cooking liquid for another purpose, such as a base for soup or a vehicle for egg poaching. You can store leftover beans in their cooking liquid in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Toast the bread and then butter each piece. Spoon about 1/2 cup beans onto each piece of toast and coarsely crush with a fork. Divide the remaining whole beans among the toasts (about 1/4 cup per toast). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste.

• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over a low heat and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 mins, or until softened. Add the garlic and oregano and fry for 1 min more. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato purée and ½ tsp sugar, plus some seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 mins, stirring often. After 10 mins, blitz everything together with a hand blender. Tip in the beans and simmer for 5 mins more.
• Heat the grill to high. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking tray and grill on one side until lightly toasted. Flip over and top each piece of toast with the bean mixture, pieces of mozzarella and slices of pepperoni or ham, if using. Slide under the hot grill for 3 mins, or until the cheese has melted and is lightly golden in spots. Scatter with basil leaves before serving.
