Wicked Wonderful Beans

I needed a quick dinner, something tasty and something that I could make then leave to sort itself out while I had a hot, well deserved bath with a glass of wine.

So I decided on white bean gratin with cherry tomatoes and crispy breadcrumbs courtesy of a Tesco magazine - god bless supermarket promotions.

Start by frying an onion and three cloves of garlic in a little oil.  As these are frying ,mix together 400g of cannellini beans, 12 cherry tomatoes (halved), 200ml vegetable stock, 1tbsp balsamic vinegar.  Add the onion, mix and then put into a casserole dish.

Mix two large handfuls of breadcrumbs with a little oil and then 2tbsp of Parmesan cheese. Top the mix in the casserole dish and bake for about 25/25 minutes at gas 6, 200C or 180F.

This makes enough for 2/3 as a main or up to 6 as a side dish.
