Instructions
Before you start
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Bring a steamer pot of hot tap water to a boil.
Start beans
Peel and grate 2 carrot. Peel and finely slice 1 brown onion. Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Drain and rinse 800 g cannellini beans. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an ovenproof skillet (or large frypan) on medium-high heat. Cook the onion and carrot for 3-4 minutes until softened.
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.
