Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8-ounce) long loaf Italian bread
1 (15 to 19 ounce) can white kidney beans (cannellini), rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh parsley leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, each cut in half

Steps:

Prepare charcoal fire or preheat gas grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Meanwhile, slice bread diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices; reserve ends for making bread crumbs another day. In medium bowl, with fork, lightly mash beans with lemon peel, lemon juice, oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon parsley. Place bread slices on grill rack and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly toasted on both sides. Rub 1 side of each toast slice with cut side of garlic. Just before serving, top garlic-rubbed side of toast with bean mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon parsley.
