Tomato Kidney Beans on Toast
A garlicky tomato sauce turns cooked kidney beans into a topping for toast. It is a small lunch that gives an opened container of beans a clear job. Let the sauce thicken before spooning it over the bread, and assemble at the last moment. Start with fully cooked beans; this method is not a way to prepare dried kidney beans safely.
