Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 12 hours

The day before cooking, put 700 ml white haricot beans to soak in a bowl of water.

Stage 2 - 20 min.

Next day, boil in salted water until soft (it is normal for froth to form on the top to begin with; just skim it off).

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Drain the beans.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Stage 4 - 2 min.

In a large pan (this could be the same as used to cook the beans), heat 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. When good and hot, add 1 red onion chopped, 1 sprig rosemary, 1 bayleaf and 1 garlic clove.

Salt, pepper and mix well.

Cook while stirring for 1 or 2 minutes.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Add 300 ml peeled and chopped tomatoes, mix and turn down the heat, Leave to thicken for 5 minutes.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Add the beans and mix in.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Transfer the mixture to a buttered gratin dish.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Scatter 50 ml grated cheese over.

Stage 9 - 30 min.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Remarks

You can use a bouquet garni instead of the rosemary and bayleaf.

For a heartier version, add an extra 50 g of grated cheese to the beans with the tomatoes.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
