Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces bread slices
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, tomato paste, maple syrup, and soy sauce to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Season the mixture with smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
While the beans are cooking, toast the bread slices to your desired crispness.
Once the beans have thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Optionally, spread a little vegan butter on each slice of toasted bread for extra flavor.
Serve the beans hot on top of the toasted bread slices, and enjoy!
