Homemade baked beans

These rustic baked beans are a step up from the store-bought varieties in both flavour and nutrition. Try them on jacket potatoes for an easy lunch or supper or with wholegrain toast for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

A white plate on a wooden table contains two slices of sourdough bread, toasted, and topped with a rich, cooked tomatoes and bean mixture. The whole meal has been liberally sprinkled with chopped parsley.
