Bean Tartines

Step One : Fry four thick slices of rustic French-style bread (live sourdough) on a medium heat in a pan with some olive oil and butter, until golden on both sides.  Remove the bread from the pan, but keep it hot.

Step Two : In the pan, place three garlic cloves, 100g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed, four large chard stalks, leaves and stems cut into thin ribbons and the juice of a lemon (plus a sprinkle of oil olive, salt and pepper)

Step Three : Saute for two minutes on a low to medium-low heat, until the beans are warmed and the greens wilted.  Pile the mix onto the toasted bread slices and top with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.  Enjoy warm.
