Finish beans
- Then add the beans, 1 tbsp Italian herbs, 130 g tomato pesto or dip, 400 g pasta sauce1 cube vegetable stock, 1 tsp honey and 125ml or ½ cup of water. Stir to combine and cook for 5-8 minutes, until slightly reduced.
Bake beans
- If using a frypan, transfer the mixture to a baking dish now. Tear 2 ciabatta rolls into bite-sized chunks and place on top of the bean mixture. Grate over 100 g cheese, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with pepper. Bake in the upper oven for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and melted.
Steam broccoli
- Meanwhile, slice 1 broccoli into small florets and add to the steamer pot of boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender and cooked to your liking. Pick the leaves of 1 bunch parsley and roughly chop, discarding the stems.
To serve
- Divide the baked beans in tomato sauce with cheesy ciabatta between plates. Garnish with the parsley and serve the broccoli on the side.
