CHEESY WHITE BEAN-TOMATO BAKE



Cheesy White Bean-Tomato Bake image

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.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, weeknight, beans, main course, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as cannellini or Great Northern) or chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup boiling water
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 pound mozzarella, coarsely grated (about 1 1/3 cups)

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.

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.
