Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon steaks, cut into chunks (or use any of their bacon products)
- 1 can haricot/cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 onions, sliced thinly
- 1 clove garlic, sliced thinly
- 2 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
- Generous pinch smoked paprika
- Handful flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- Knob of butter and glug of olive oil
- 4 slices good quality bread cut into 1 cm thick slices
WAITAKI BACON AND BEANS ON TOAST
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!!
