Butter bean and tomato stew with garlic bread

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 6-8 mins until tender. Add half the garlic, fry for 30 secs, then add the tomatoes, swirl each can out with 50ml water and add to the pan with 1½ tsp oregano. Simmer for 10 mins until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the zest and juice, sugar, beans and spinach; stir until the spinach wilts, then simmer for another 10 mins until the sauce is thick enough to coat the beans. Add a splash of water if the beans look dry.
2. 2Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high. Grill the bloomer slices for 1-2 mins each side until lightly golden. Mix the remaining 2½ tbsp oil, the garlic, half the basil, a pinch of oregano and some black pepper. Brush over one side of the toasts and grill for 1-2 mins until crunchy and the garlic is fragrant. Stir the remaining basil through the stew and serve with the garlic toasts.
