If you love things on toast… you will love my beans on toast recipe too!
Lovely idea Georgie, I’ll try this tomorrow night.. x Christine
Thank you Christine! xx
peas and mint are a never-fail combination for me! i love this idea and would prefer it over avocado toast any day!
Let me know if you try it out – would love to know what you think! x
Mine turned out a bit dry
Add some more olive oil and/ or lemon juice.
Loved, loved it! I added a little more olive oil to loosen it up. I, also, had some leftover garbanzo beans from another recipe and stirred them in, too! Toasts: I usually make a lot of toasts at one time and keep them in the freezer. Took a few of those out and I was set for a flavor explosion and a fantastic dinner! Thank you!ā¤ļø. I am loving your recipes, albeit Iām not Vegan. I substitute dairy where needed. š
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic!!
