Slow breakfast beans with mushrooms and thyme on toast

Method

  1. This is for a small slow cooker (1.5 to 3.5 litres). In a bigger one, double everything and freeze half. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Slice the mushrooms, chop the onion finely and crush the garlic.
  2. Put the beans, mushrooms, onion, garlic, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, smoked paprika, dried thyme, maple syrup and tamari in the slow cooker. Stir well. Add no water: the mushrooms and tomatoes will make plenty of sauce.
  3. Put the lid on and leave it on. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours (overnight) or on high for 3 hours.
  4. In the morning, stir well and mash a few beans against the side to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cut the sourdough into thick slices, toast them and spoon the beans over the top.

Tip Sourdough toasts well from frozen straight in the toaster. Leftover beans keep for a few days and are good on a jacket potato.
