Serrano Ham and Bean Tostada

A simple and surprisingly satisfying tostada. Great at anytime of the day.

You will need:

3 tablespoons drained white fava or cannelini beans (from a jar or tin)
4 thin slices of Serrano Ham cut into strips
1 teaspoon wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced onion
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
French toasts or toasted baguette cut into individual sized servings
Salt and pepper to season

Method

• In a mixing bowl, place the beans and roughly mash with a fork, add the oil, vinegar, paprika and onion, mix well and season.

• Spoon generous amounts of the bean mix onto the toasts and top with a few Serrano ham strips.

• Garnish with a little fresh parsley and serve. Lovely with a chilled white to start off the evening.
