WHITE-BEAN CROQUETTES
Steps:
- Puree the beans, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Stir in 9 tablespoons of bread crumbs and refrigerate several hours, until firm.
- Form the mixture into balls, using a slightly rounded tablespoon for each one. Press one piece of mozzarella and 1 piece of tomato into the center of each and reshape into a ball. Coat with the remaining bread crumbs.
- Working in batches, deep-fry the balls until nicely browned -- it is important to keep the oil about 365 degrees. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

MOZZARELLA-STUFFED TOMATOES

CHEESY WHITE BEAN-TOMATO BAKE
For those of you who love lasagna's edges, where sticky tomato meets crisp cheese, this whole dish is for you - even the middle. A tube of tomato paste here mimics the deep flavors of sun-dried tomato. Frying a few generous squeezes caramelizes the tomato's sugars and saturates the olive oil, making a mixture that's ready to glom onto anything you stir through it. Here, it's white beans, though you could add in kale, noodles, even roasted vegetables. Then, all that's left to do is dot it with cheese and bake until it's as molten or singed as you like. Serve with bread and a bitter-green salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic until it's lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste (be careful of splattering) and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top, then bake until the cheese has melted and browned in spots, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as toasted as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for a minute or 2. Serve at once.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200°F.
- Mash the beans, but do not puree, have a few lumps in here, add a bit of bean water if necessary to even out.
- Combine the beans, onion, parsley, egg salt& pepper.
- Add crumbs (I like the crumbs best) or cornmeal by the tbsp until you have a batter that you can handle by hand. Shape into hamburger shaped patties and fry in lightly sprayed oil coated pan, 3-5 minutes each side or until browned on each side. Keep warm in the 200°F oven until all are cooked or you could serve at room temperature.

Tips:
- For a crispy exterior, make sure the croquettes are coated evenly in breadcrumbs before frying.
- To ensure the mozzarella cheese melts evenly, cut it into small cubes before stuffing the croquettes.
- If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried basil is more concentrated.
- To make the croquettes ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they're frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to cook them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then fry them as directed.
