Posh beans on toast

Ingredients
Â
2 slices of sourdoughÂ
butterÂ
2 eggsÂ
150g Russian or curly kale, tough stalks removedÂ
zest and juice of 1 lemonÂ
1 garlic clove, sliced thinlyÂ
80g Parmesan, shavedÂ
sea salt
cracked black pepperÂ
For the beans:
1Â tin of butterbeans, drained and beans rinsed with cold water
2 sprigs of thymeÂ
1 bay leaf
peel of ½ lemonÂ
sea saltÂ
1 garlic clove, mincedÂ
extra virgin olive oilÂ

Method
In a small pot or saucepan, place the beans along with the thyme and bay leaf (tied together with twine), olive oil, sea salt, minced garlic and lemon peel, over a medium heat.
Sautee gently until fragrant and the beans are starting to become soft but not to the point of breaking apart. Take off the heat and remove the herbs and lemon peel.
For the kale, sauté with some olive oil and sliced garlic over a medium high heat, squeeze over the juice of 1 small lemon and add its zest to the pan. Season with sea salt. Cook until soft but not totally wilted.
Toast the sourdough, spread generously with butter and then poach the eggs until firm on the outside but with the yolks still nice and runny.
Arrange the toast between two serving plates and dividing the beans and kale between them on top of the toast. Place an egg on each and lastly add some of the shaved parmesan.
