WAITAKI BACON AND BEANS ON TOAST

tcr0018

Method

  • Put the oil and butter in a medium size fry-pan and add the onion, bacon, garlic and add the smoked paprika, cook until the onion has softened and the bacon is starting to caramelize and go nice and brown
  • Add the tomatoes and beans, cook until the tomatoes soften and form into a thickish sauce
  • If looking too dry add a dessert spoon or two of water, although you are not wanting to make it watery—it should still have a thickish, saucy look
  • Meanwhile, grill the toast until golden on both sides
  • Rub with a clove of garlic cut in half
  • Only rub the garlic once or twice over the bread as it is very strong
  • Drizzle with extra virgin olive, and place one piece of toast per plate
  • Add the chopped parsley to the beans, check for seasoning
  • Spoon a generous amount onto each plate, add another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if desired and serve immediately
  • NB: Great with a fried egg!!
