Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil for sautéing the garlic
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cooked kidney or pinto beans plus liquid
  • 2 slices bread your favorite
  • 3 to 4 teaspoons brown mustard
  • Feta for serving
  • Chili flakes for serving
  • Parsley for serving

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Spatula
  • Toaster or oven
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Knife and chopping board

Method
 

  1. In a medium frying pan, heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the 1 clove of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  2. Next, add the 1 cup of cooked kidney or pinto beans along with their liquid. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of salt, and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the beans to your desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  4. While the beans are simmering, toast your 2 slices of bread until golden and crispy.
  5. Spread 3 to 4 teaspoons of brown mustard on each slice of toasted bread. Top generously with the garlicky bean mixture.
  6. Crumble some feta over the top, sprinkle with chili flakes for a kick, and finish with a handful of parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftover bean mixture in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Use whole grain or gluten-free bread for a healthier twist.
  • Experiment with different beans or add extra veggies for more nutrients.
