WAITAKI BACON AND BEANS ON TOAST

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

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!!
