Popped Bean & Tomato Traybake
From the Cookbook
Veggie
After a manic Monday, this is one of our favourite suppers to cook. Once you’ve got everything chopped, it’s simply a case of bunging it in the oven, and the accompanying Tahini Sauce is also a cinch to prepare. What’s more, the quantities are extremely forgiving, so if you happen to have less broccoli and more tomatoes, for example, it will still work brilliantly.
Serves:
3-4Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into irregular-shaped 3cm chunks
6 tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 red onion, sliced into thin wedges
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
3 sprigs of rosemary or thyme
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil
400g can cannellini beans, drained
250g Tenderstem broccoli, cut into 3cm lengths
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
To serve
1 quantity of Tahini Sauce
4 flatbreads, warmed (optional)
Method
- 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas Mark 7.
- 2
Tumble the sweet potatoes, tomatoes, onion, garlic and rosemary or thyme together in a deep roasting tin. Drizzle over the vinegar and 4 tablespoons of the olive oil to coat the vegetables. Season well with salt and pepper and cover the tin tightly with foil. Roast on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 minutes.
- 3
Spread the beans out in a single layer on a baking tray. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- 4
Remove the roasting tin from the oven, carefully peel away the foil and use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently crush the tomatoes. Stir through the broccoli and fennel seeds, then return the roasting tin to the middle shelf of the oven, placing the beans on the top shelf at the same time, and roast for a further 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft and charring at the edges.
- 5
Remove the beans and vegetables from the oven, then scoop the beans on top of the veggies and scatter over the lemon zest and juice. Give everything a really good stir before serving with the Tahini Sauce and warmed flatbreads, if liked.
