We eat this loads. I suppose it's proper title should be 'garlc & sage infused cannellini bean crostini' or some such but you get the idea. Heinz & Hovis have taken a trip to Waitrose.
Anyway, it's delicious, easy to make & contains tons of protein, calcium & iron (all essential for healthy vegans). This is one of those recipes that started out being followed from a book & has changed into something else with tweaking & happy surprises from bunging in whatever was in the cupboard.
Ingredients:
ciabatta
2 tins of cannellini beans
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
a bit of fresh sage (chopped)
olive oil
half a pack of spinach
vegetarian worcestershire sauce
vegan parmesan
salt & pepper
Heat some oil in a big pan, throw in the garlic & sage for a minute & stir. Add the drained beans, spinach, a dash of worcestershire sauce, some parmesan & as much hot water as you need to give the mixture a little bit of sauce. Cook until the spinach has completely wilted & the beans are warm through & a few are starting to fall apart (10-15 mins). Meanwhile, cut the ciabatta in half lengthwise & grill the cut side till it's lightly toasted. Season the beans & serve on top of the ciabatta with a bit of extra parmesan & olive oil if you like.
Will feed two hungry people.

Oooh, they look fab. Where can you get Veggie worchester sauce though? I love it but thought it was a plaesure lost to me forever...
I get mine in my local health food shop, Bumblebee in Brecknock Road. I've seen it in Planet Organic & Fresh & Wild too though. It's really good! Omni boyfriend can't tell the difference between this & the fishy sort.
Ooh, grand, will check it out.
