Ingredients
For the vegetable mixture:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 bell peppers, sliced or diced (I used yellow and red)
- 1 red onion, sliced or diced
- 1 small head broccoli, cut into bitesize florets (~ 140g / ~ 1 1/2 cups when chopped)
- ~ 8 medium mushrooms, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 280 g (~ 1 cup) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and cut into bitesize pieces
- 400 g tin pinto beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained) - or any other kind of tinned bean
- 1/2 tbsp basil pesto
- 50 g cheddar cheese, grated (~ 1/2 cup when grated)
- Salt
- Black pepper
For the crumble topping:
- 50 g (~ 1/4 cup) plain flour
- 35 g (~ 2 1/2 tbsp) butter
- 35 g (scant 1/4 cup) rolled oats
- 60 g cheddar cheese, grated (~ 2/3 cup grated)
- 1/2 tbsp basil pesto
- Salt
- Black pepper
To serve:
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan, and add the peppers, onion, broccoli, and mushrooms. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables are fairly soft, but still have a little bit of bite (the broccoli will probably still be quite crisp).
- Add the garlic, artichokes and beans, and cook for a few more minutes, then remove from the heat. Add the pesto and cheddar cheese, and mix thoroughly. Season to taste.
- Heat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- To make the cheesy pesto crumb, use your fingertips to rub together the plain flour and butter in a mixing bowl. Stop when the mixture resembles breadcrumbs - you don't want it to come together into a ball (it doesn't matter if it's not perfectly mixed - don't overwork it). Add the oats, grated cheese, and pesto, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a fork to mix everything together - again, it doesn't matter if it's not perfect, just try to mix the pesto through as best as you can.
- Transfer the vegetables to a baking dish, and top with the cheesy crumble mixture. Bake for around 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Serve topped with fresh parsley, if desired.
