Baked beans can be surprisingly high in salt and sugar. Making your own beans on toast is simple; it lowers the sugar and salt content as well as adding two of your 5 A DAY. Plus, I think it tastes better!

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely diced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
1 x 400g can cannellini beans, drained
1 x 400g can kidney beans, drained
1 tablespoon reduced-sugar tomato ketchup
Fresh coriander, roughly chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
4 medium slices of wholegrain bread

Method

Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and paprika and cook for a further minute.
Add the tomatoes, beans and ketchup and bring to the boil. Stir through most of the coriander and season with pepper.
Meanwhile, toast the bread. Top each piece of toast with quarter of the bean mixture and garnish with remaining coriander.
