Feta & butter bean bake

What you need

• ·400g butter beans
• ·100g feta
• ·250g cherry tomatoes
• ·20g olive oil
• ·12g garlic
• ·80g wholemeal bread
• ·80g baby spinach
• ·5g red chillies

Method

1. 1Beans, whole tomatoes, garlic, oil and chilli into a baking dish and stirred.
2. 2The block of feta laid whole in the middle. Whole, not crumbled — it is meant to come out as one soft mass you break through.
3. 3Hot oven, 25 minutes, until the tomatoes have burst and the feta has gone golden at the edges.
4. 4Spinach stirred through the hot dish so it wilts, then everything mashed together roughly at the table.
5. 5Toast for the sauce.

Ten minutes of actual work for something that looks like it took an hour. The whole block of feta is what makes it, so do not be tempted to spread it out.
