Runner Bean Puree Bruschetta

Just got back from a few days with my Dad on his small holding in Anglesey. We have been eating very well including a huge brunch before we set off home so really didn't feel like much this evening. While we were away I saw a recipe for runner bean puree in the Times. We had a bag of runner beans in the fridge from last week's veg bag but I couldn't remember the recipe and am too mean to pay to go on the Times on-line so we made it up.

We steamed the beans until tender and then whizzed to a puree with a blender. I think we would have added garlic at this stage but we didn't have any. We sliced some red onions and fried them until soft in some olive oil. The bruschetta was a thick slice of bread toasted on both sides and then brushed with oil from a jar of anchovies piled with the bean puree, onions, halved cherry tomatoes, a couple of anchovies and put back until the grill.

Yum - just want we needed after a few days of excess.
