1 tsp dried oregano
1 jar Queen Red Beans, with their bean stock
100 g cavolo nero, leaves removed from touch stems and roughly chopped
125 g mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces, or vegan alternative
1 tbsp ‘nduja paste - or sun-dried tomato paste

A few teaspoons of hot honey or agave, to serve
Serving suggestions
Warm ciabatta or sourdough
A fresh side salad
Substitutions
Hot honey - regular honey with a pinch of chilli flakes
‘Nduja - sundried tomato paste
Directions
Step 1
Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and tomato puree and fry off for a further 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the chopped tomatoes, beans with their bean stock and oregano to the pan. Stir to combine and bubble away for 2-3 minutes to let the mixture thicken slightly. Then add the cavolo nero and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season to taste.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Tip the mixture into a shallow roasting dish or large, oven-proof bowl. Tear over the mozzarella to evenly cover the mixture, dollop over the ‘nduja and cover the top with breadcrumbs. Grill for 1-2 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the mozzarella is oozing. Remove from the grill and drizzle over the hot honey, or regular honey, if using.
Step 5
Scoop the mixture from the pan onto your serving plate. Serve with some warm, crusty bread.
