Ingredients:

  • wholemeal bread
  • 200 g cannellini beans
  • 1 garlic clove
  • San Marzano tomatoes
  • salt-packed capers
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • salt to taste
  • Ménage à Trois – Emozioneolio extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:

  1. Place the beans, well drained of their preserving liquid, in a food processor. Add salt, one garlic clove, the juice of a slice of lemon, tahini and plenty of extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Blend to a smooth, even cream.
  3. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and combine with the capers, rinsed to remove their preserving salt.
  4. Toast the bread well to make the crostino.
  5. Finish with a generous spoonful of bean cream, the tomatoes and capers, and a generous drizzle of our Ménage à Trois extra virgin olive oil before serving.
