White beans — to buy400 g
Tomato paste — to buy2 tbsp
Bread — to buy4 slices
Butter — to buy1 knob

Preparation

Pour the white beans with their liquid and the tomato paste into a small saucepan.
Heat over low heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is hot and slightly thickened — don't let it boil hard, it'll mash the beans.
Meanwhile, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp, then butter them lightly while still hot.
Season the beans with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon them generously over the toast and serve piping hot, before the bread has time to go soft.
