This delicious Spanish style beans recipe is so easy to make and is the perfect breafast, lunch or brunch dish! To be honest you could even serve it up for dinner!

This dish combines rich, tangy and sweet flavours due to the tomato but it also has a lovely smokey element to it because of the paprika. I like to use a little pinch of cayenne pepper in this for a little bit of heat but you could omit this if preferred.

This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegan and contains nutrient dense ingredients with a high protein content. Not only is this recipe a delicious and nutritious way to start your day but it is also pretty versatile! I use cannellini beans in this recipe but you could use whichever kind you have in the cupboard. Similarly I like to use chopped tomatoes in this recipe but passata would work just as well. You could also omit the fresh tomato if you didn’t have any to hand or even add more in. This goes for the spinach too, use more or less as desired!

I do not use onion in this recipe but if you wanted to add some in I think it would work really well in this dish. Either dice a white or red onion and add to the pan along with the tomatoes when cooking or scatter sliced spring onions across the top of the dish when serving.

These spanish beans are essentially jazzy baked beans so would work well as part of a larger cooked breakfast – maybe alongside my 10 Minute Scrambled Tofu ‘Egg’ recipe – but are delicious enough to be eaten with just some hot buttered toast too. I like to serve them topped with fresh parsley and coriander.
