Anti-Inflammatory Beans on Toast

Be the first to rate & review!

This beans on toast recipe is inspired by the traditional breakfast in the U.K., where toast is slathered in saucy baked beans. Here we add mushrooms, which add texture and enhance the savory flavor of the dish. Mushrooms are packed with selenium, an antioxidant that may help decrease inflammation in the body. Other nutrient-packed ingredients, like the fiber in multigrain bread and the capsaicin in chili powder, add even more anti-inflammatory power. Use the multigrain bread to sop up the sauce. Serve with a scrambled or fried egg on the side.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
1 ½ tablespoons lower-sodium Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons tomato paste
¾ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (13.7-ounce) can baked beans in tomato sauce (such as Heinz)
4 slices multigrain bread, toasted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium; add Worcestershire, tomato paste, chili powder and salt; stir until well incorporated. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add beans; cook, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated, 3 to 5 minutes.
Spoon 1/2 cup of the bean mixture onto each slice of toast and sprinkle with parsley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
