Tomato + Garlic White Beans with Crispy Caper + Parsley Pangrattato
The key to this dish is using the BEST tomatoes you can find. Look for ripe ones that smell grassy and fragrant at the stem and feel tender to the touch. It will give you a perfectly sweet, juicy sauce for creamy white beans to soak up - it’s pretty heavy on the garlic too! Topped off with a crispy caper + parsley pangrattato for both freshness + acidity. Ideal mopped up with bread.
Ingredients
1 jar of Organic White Beans or Queen Cannellini Beans - with their bean stock
4 medium ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped - get the ripest, best quality you can find!
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to serve
For the pangrattato3 tbsp capers
2 tbsp panko bread crumbs (or whizzed up stale bread)
3 tbsp fresh parsley leaves, very finely chopped
Zest of ½ lemon, grated
Directions
Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Tip in the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and cook for 10-12 minutes until they soften down and the juices release into a sauce.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Tip in the beans with their bean stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes to let the beans soak up those tomato juices.
Meanwhile, make the pangrattato. Tip the breadcrumbs into a dry frying pan over a medium heat and toast until golden, shaking the pan often - about 2 minutes. Tip into a small bowl. In the same pan, heat one tablespoon of oil over a high heat. Tip in the capers and let them sizzle and pop, and fry until crispy, shaking the pan occasionally - about 4-5 minutes. Tip the crispy capers into the bowl with the breadcrumbs, followed by the chopped parsley and the zest of ½ lemon. Stir to combine.
To serve, spoon the warm beans into serving bowls, finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a few twists of black pepper and a sprinkling of the pangrattato.
