Yield Serves 4 as a main course or 6 to 8 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 celery rib, sliced thin
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 garlic cloves, chopped coarse
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 2 1/4 cups)
two 15-ounce cans small white beans (not cannellini), rinsed well and drained
12 fine-quality oil-cured black olives*, pitted and halved
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise (about 2 1/2 cups)
12 fresh sage leaves, chopped fine or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
For persillade topping:
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
*available at Mediterranean markets and specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a 10- to 12-inch skillet cook celery in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and stir in beans. Mash about one fourth of beans with back of a large spoon and stir in remaining ingredients except topping. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Transfer bean mixture to a 2- to 2 1/2-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Gratin may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Make persillade topping:
  • In a small bowl with a fork stir together topping ingredients until crumbs are evenly moistened.
  • Sprinkle topping over bean mixture and bake in middle of oven 45 minutes, or until bubbling and top is golden brown. Cool gratin 5 minutes before serving.

This is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for a quick and easy meal.

I used canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes and it worked out great. The gratin was still very flavorful and delicious.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I loved this gratin! The zucchini was cooked perfectly and it wasn't mushy at all. The tomatoes and white beans were also delicious.

This is a simple and healthy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. I used fresh zucchini and tomatoes from my garden and it was delicious! The white beans add a nice creaminess and the thyme gives it a lovely flavor.
