Method
Tip the beans into a mortar or mini chopper with the dill, olive oil (you’ll need a little more if you’re using fresh beans), lemon zest, a squeeze of juice and plenty of salt and pepper. Work into a chunky paste.
Spoon the mixture onto the bread, using the curve of the spoon against the edges of the bread to create smooth, neat mounds. Lay over strips of roasted red pepper, then finish with shavings of manchego and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
