    Very yummy, tomato skins worked as a surprising crunch, once they touch te beans they get soggy quickly. Subbed the yoghurt for some labneh. Would also work very well as part of a big mezze table.

    Paying attention to all the previous comments I didn’t bother crisping up the tomato skins after (haphazardly) removing them. The flavour was great, when I tasted the bean mix I thought it needed acid, of course that came from the yogurt. Would definitely make again and make sure I have plenty of bread on hand. I think this would work with cannellini beans too.

    Enjoyable dish. Putting beans on top of yogurt cools beans down quickly. I preferred it on the side. The skins need to be totally dry and change color in order to crumble and be enjoyable as a topping. This takes much longer than indicated.

    After reading the previous comments, I didn’t bother with crisping the tomato skins as they were kinda stuck to the flesh and didn’t slip off easily as described but I found this delicious all the same and the toasted whole grain sourdough provided plenty of crunch. The only downside to leaving the skins down is the tomatoes don’t break down into a smooth sauce as pictured in the book. No jarred butter beans in my pantry so I cooked up some Rancho Gordo Royal Corona beans.

    Agreed - tomato skins aren't worth the time and effort. Otherwise, a very enjoyable side.

    The tomato skins could be skipped and its very nice still
