1 (8-ounce) long loaf Italian bread
1 lemon
1 can(s) (15- to 19-ounce) white kidney beans (cannellini), rinsed and drained

1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/8 teaspoon(s) coarsely ground pepper
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley leaves

2 clove(s) garlic, each cut in half

Directions

1. Prepare charcoal fire or preheat gas grill for direct grilling over medium heat.

4. 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.
