Creamy Tomato & Basil Beans
  1. Saute the onions in plenty of olive oil and a pinch of salt for 8 minutes. Add garlic and fry 3 minutes more, then add tomato puree the chopped fresh tomatoes and a big pinch of salt.

  2. Bring to a boil then bubble and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the beans plus their juices from the can (I pour a little out of the top first) at the basil, saving a little for garnish. Bubble for a further 5 minutes.

  3. Scoop out two spoonfuls and blend with the firm tofu (I use a tomato flavored one but if you can't find this add a little more tomato puree and salt) the nutritional yeast and the miso, add a splash or two of water to help it blend to a smooth consistency, season to taste.

  4. Tip the tomatoy tofu cream into the beans, mix and gently heat.

  5. Serve with yogurt, fresh basil, olive oil, black pepper, and enjoy with a slice of sourdough bread or your cooked grain of choice.
