SIMPLE BEANS ON TOAST



Simple Beans on Toast image

These utterly simple beans come from Steve Sando, the owner of Rancho Gordo, which is known for its heirloom bean varieties. You can use any kind of dried bean (cannellini is pictured here); do not used canned beans. This recipe leans on great ingredients, which don't need much help, and lets them shine. That means you should use the best you've got, right down to the drizzle of olive oil that finishes the dish. If you do want to dress them up a bit, add a bay leaf at the beginning of cooking, and a sprig of thyme or rosemary during the last hour or so of cooking.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium white or yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 medium stalk celery, finely chopped
1 pound dried heirloom beans, picked over and rinsed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 large slices crusty bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Flaky sea salt and ground black pepper

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.

BEANS ON TOAST



Beans on Toast image

Posted for ZWT6 "Mention to the average American that you love Beans on Toast, and you are stared at in disbelief. I guess the thought of actually eating beans on a piece of toast is a little hard to swallow, both literally, and figuratively, and yet it is an extremely tasty and nutritious meal. So, just in case you are still wondering what we are talking about, here's the recipe, which would provide a meal for two. NOTE: While the toast is toasting, don't forget to make a large pot of tea. It is an absolute fact that you cannot eat Beans on Toast without lots of tea!"

Time 20m

Yield 2 beans on toast, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (14 ounce) can of heinz baked beans in tomato sauce
4 large eggs
4 slices bread, for toasting
plenty butter (or equivalent if you prefer)

Steps:

  • Empty the baked beans into a small saucepan.
  • Prepare a pan to either poach or fry the eggs (your choice, but poached is better).
  • Start toasting the bread. How many slices is, of course, up to you and your appetite at the time, but at least 2 slices each are needed for the beans, plus any additional slices for the jam later.
  • While the toast is toasting, don't forget to make a large pot of tea. It is an absolute fact that you cannot eat Beans on Toast without lots of tea.
  • Once the toast is on, gently warm the beans, and start to cook the eggs.
  • As the toast is done, place it on pre-warmed plates, and apply lots of butter to taste.
  • Divide the beans between the two plates, spreading them over the 2 slices of toast.
  • Place the cooked eggs on top of the beans, sprinkle a little pepper, (and if you prefer, maybe a dash of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce), and enjoy.
