Ingredients
- 2 x 400g tins cannellini beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, per tin when drained)
- 400 g tinned tomatoes (~ 1 1/3 cups)
- 75 g sliced black olives (~ 2/3 cup)
- 100 g roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes (~ 2/3 cup)
- 1 tbsp basil pesto (I used homemade)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 30 g coarse breadcrumbs (~ 3/4 cup)
- 30 g grated vegetarian parmesan-style cheese (~ 1/8 cup) - omit for a vegan dish
- Spray oil
- Fresh basil, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- Add the drained cannellini beans to a large mixing bowl, and add the tinned tomatoes, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, and olive oil. Mix well, and season to taste.
- Trasnfer the bean mixture to a baking dish, and top with the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan. Spray lightly with oil, and bake for around 1 hour, or until the breadcrumbs are crispy and golden brown, and the bean mixture is piping hot.
- Serve topped with fresh basil.
Notes
This dish can be served as a main dish or a side. I like it best with a green salad and some crusty bread!
