Put the pepper and spring onions into a large saucepan with 3 tablespoons of water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes over a low heat, until the water has evaporated.

Add the beans, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes to the saucepan. Heat gently for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until the beans are piping hot.

Step 3

If you don't have any spring onions, you can always use finely chopped onion.

Meanwhile, toast the bread, then spread each piece with the lower-fat spread. Pile the beans on to the toast and serve, sprinkled with black pepper.
