Before you start
Garlic crush or microplane | Colander | Large frying pan
Prepare the ingredients
- Peel and crush the garlic
- Drain and rinse the cannellini beans
For the greens
- Heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and gently cook for 1 minute until golden, taking care not to burn it. Toss the cavolo nero into the garlicky oil and allow to wilt. Toss in the beans followed by the plant-based cream cheese and a big splash of water. Stir well so that the cream cheese melts and coats the beans and greens. Heat until piping hot, about 2 minutes
Toast the bread and tuck in
- Toast the bread until crusty and golden. Drizzle the bread with olive oil, before piling on the beans and greens. Squeeze over a little lemon juice and season with salt and pepper before tucking in
