Method

  1. Warm the olive oil in a wide frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 7 minutes, until soft and beginning to colour.
  2. Add the garlic and smoked paprika. Stir for 1 minute, just until the garlic smells sweet and the oil turns red.
  3. Tip in the butter beans, tomatoes and stock. Simmer uncovered for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to leave a trail behind the spoon.
  4. Grill the sourdough until crisp at the edges. Stir the lemon juice through the beans, then finish with parsley, lemon zest and black pepper before serving with the toast.
