This recipe is a Mediterranean take on the classic baked bean.  It makes for a nice change from tradition for a late breakfast or brunch.  

 
Ingredients

Serves 4

• 2 Tbsp. light olive oil
• 100g cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 x 400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 tsp. chicken flavoured stock powder
• 100g baby spinach, chopped
• 2 Tsp. lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp. vegan margarine
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices toasted crusty bread to serve

 
Method

• In a cold pan place the oil, tomatoes, and garlic.  Warm gently until the tomatoes start to collapse.
• Add the beans, water, and stock powder and warm through.
• Add the spinach and stir through until just wilted.
• Add the lemon juice, margarine and adjust the seasoning as required.
• Serve on toasted crusty bread.

About the Recipe

• This recipe is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. 
• Of course, you could cook your own beans from dry if you wanted to rather than use the canned beans.  I was just saving time by using canned beans.
• You can also substitute other white beans Eg: butter beans
• Massel make a range of vegan stocks and stock powders which are flavoured to be similar to chicken or beef stock. You can also get low salt varieties if that is an issue for you. They are a staple item in my pantry.
