Method

• Soak beans separately overnight. Drain well and boil in salted water until soft. Drain beans and allow to cool (note: do not use the soaking water to cook as this can cause stomach upset)
• In a mixing bowl, combine beans, onion, lemon juice and olive oil. Mix together with a fork to lightly crush the beans. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Toast the ciabatta bread
• Spread the bean mix evenly over both slices of toasted ciabatta bread. Garnish with torn basil
• For something extra special; drizzle with truffle oil – it will give the dish an entirely new dimension
• Serve immediately

Note: Canned beans may be used as an alternative, however ensure they are well drained and rinsed
