Ingredients

450g Large ripe tomatoes
1 x 660g jar Organic White Beans (such as our Queen B's or Organic White Beans), lightly rinsed
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
500g cherry or cherry plum tomatoes
4 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 bunch of torn basil leaves, stems reserved, plus more for serving
1 ball of fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. grated Parm, plus more for serving
2 slices of very good sourdough

Directions

Heat your grill up. Halve the large tomatoes crosswise (through the middle). Then, starting with cut sides, grate the toms on the large holes of your grater into a medium bowl; get rid of the skins! Add your bold beans + season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat 3 tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add your cherry tomatoes; cook, shaking pan occasionally, until browned in spots, about 3 mins. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 mins.
Stir in grated tomato mixture and reserved basil stems. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened and flavorful, 10–15 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Remove basil stems from pan; stir in ¼ cup basil leaves. Shake skillet to evenly distribute beans. Top with mozzarella and 2 Tbsp. Parmesan. Put them under the grill until cheese is melted and browned in spots, about 3 mins.
Spoon tomato beans over your toast. Top with more basil leaves and Parmesan and drizzle with oil. Season generously with more pepper.
