Pizza Beans

This is one for the kids, or the inner-kid in yourself. Melty cheese, tomato base, loaded with whatever toppings are to your liking. This is a rough concept that we want you to roll out, remix and do your own way. The key things? White beans, tomato + cheese. That’s all folks. Wolf this down with garlic bread and a zingy green salad. This recipe will feed 3-4 kids, and roughly 2 hungry adults!

Directions

1

Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large, grill/oven-proof pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft. This is a great time to add some hidden veg to the sauce, chuck in some finely chopped carrot or pepper, for example.

2

Add the tomato sauce, oregano and beans with their bean stock. Simmer for 7-8 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Add the spinach and cook until wilted - about 3 minutes. Season to taste.

3

Turn the grill on to a high setting.

4

Top the bean mixture with torn mozzarella pieces, parmesan and any other toppings you want to add. OR, transfer the mixture to a medium sized oven proof wide dish and add all of the toppings. Grill for 5 minutes or so until golden brown.

5

Garnish with fresh basil and serve with a lemony rocket salad and garlic bread.
