Butter Bean & Oregano Bruschetta
This tasty starter will transport you to sunnier Italian climbs from the very first bite. Creamy butter beans are a fantastic addition to this bruschetta, as they draw up tonnes of flavour from the herby tomato mixture. Simply toss them together with juicy tomatoes, fragrant Schwartz Oregano, zesty lemon and a touch of olive oil for a wonderfully refreshing topping. For truly authentic bruschetta, try the traditional method of rubbing a whole garlic clove onto the thick slices of crusty bread, as it adds a subtle tang to the toasts without overpowering the rest of the dish. Finish with an extra sprinkling of oregano and buon apetito!
Ingredients
Preparation
Pre-heat the grill to a medium heat.
Place the tomatoes, butter beans, Oregano, lemon juice and zest, 1 tbs of the olive oil and the olives in a bowl and stir to combine. Season to taste.
Brush both sides of the bread lightly with the remaining oil, place under the grill and lightly toast each side until they begin to brown. Allow the bread to cool slightly then take the garlic clove and lightly rub over the surface of the bread.
Top the bread with the tomato and bean mixture and serve immediately.
