This Super Quick Two Bean and Artichoke Toast is a great lunch or snack when you need something non fussy but delicious. The rich flavour of the beans and the saltiness of the artichoke are perfect for one another topped on a crispy toast!
This meal puts me in such a summery mood. With the beans, the artichokes the lemon juice, it all just tastes so sunny. I’m sitting here writing this on another grey and gloomy day, wishing away the winter. Last year I think almost internationally the summer was INCREDIBLE. Fingers crossed this year is the same…
The beauty of this recipe is that it actually uses canned beans, rather than dried. Although if you really do prefer to soak your own beans, that is fine too. For me it depends what I’m making. If I have the time, I love soaking and cooking my own beans, for example, I totally recommend soaking your own chickpeas when making hummus. But if you want something super quick, canned beans are absolutely fine, and still provide all that wonderful flavour and texture!

This Super Quick Two Bean and Artichoke Toast is a great lunch or snack when you need something non fussy but delicious. The rich flavour of the beans and the saltiness of the artichoke are perfect for one another topped on a crispy toast!
Ingredients:
1 Can Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed,
1 Can Borlotti Beans, drained and rinsed,
1 Jar Artichoke hearts in oil, drained and roughly chopped,

1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice,
Salt and Pepper for Seasoning,
Crusty Bread for Toasting,
Fresh Basil Leaves.
Steps:
1. Pulse the beans in a food processor until they are roughly chopped. They should still have some texture to them, so don’t overblend.
