Method

  1. Heat grill to high. Stir the first six ingredients together in a medium pan. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 4-5 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, spread the baguette slices over a baking sheet and slide under the grill. Toast on one side, turn over and sprinkle the second side with the cheese. Grill for another 1-2 mins until melted and golden brown. Season the beans to taste and serve over the cheesy toasts.

    This has been one of my favourite quick, cheap meals since it first appeared in the magazine. I like to add some chopped red pepper and/or onion to the beans - ups the veg count nicely, and makes it extra tasty, too!

    Had this for my tea tonight - wasn't expecting it to be up to much and only chose it because I had all of the ingredients in the cupboard. Was actually quite nice with the baguettes and cheese - halved the vinegar as another review said it was maybe too much. Saved the rest to have with a jakcet spud for lunch tomorrow.

    This was so lovely! I doubled the recipe and used two tins of black beans, one of kidney beans and one of butter beans. I also added a fair bit - an onion, two sticks of celery, about a tsp of cayenne pepper and a big splash of lea and perrins - came out beautifully!
