For the Cannellini Spread
Combine all the ingredients, blend in a food processor until smooth and season. Set aside.
The bean base for this makes a larger portion than needed for these two sandwiches but keeps for several days in the fridge. It’s delicious as a side to other things, too. This is one of the most popular veggie open sandwiches in our café
Combine all the ingredients, blend in a food processor until smooth and season. Set aside.
Cook the mushrooms in a saucepan (I prefer to dry fry until the mushrooms release their water and then it evaporates, but if you don’t want to wait, you can add a little oil). When cooked through, stir through the miso paste and season.
This recipe yields 500 milliliters/16 fluid ounces.
Halve the tomatoes and add to the jar. Add all the other ingredients and leave to marinate for at least an hour, ideally longer.
Spoon two to three tablespoons of the cannellini bean paste on each piece of bread. Add the miso mushrooms and pickled tomatoes. Garnish with micro herbs and serve with crispy kale chips.
Tips:
The rest of the cannellini bean spread will keep in the fridge for up to three days – use it as a spread or dip.
Notes:
Store for five to six days in the fridge. Use on open sandwiches or in salads – this recipe will cover 10–12 open sandwiches, with leftovers.
