Recipe Review

29th October 2009

andrew from Vancouver Island, BC

A recipe deceptive in its simplicity. Although it only has a few ingredients: beans, tomatoes, onions, cheese and oregano, somehow they all combine to make a substantial and flavourful whole. This is something typical of Italian cooking, where the simplicity of the dish showcases the ingredients; use substandard parts, and the whole suffers.

We made it with our own garden tomatoes, local organic onions, white beans and sharp cheddar. Taking a cue from one of his related recipes (Bean Casserole with Hominy and Tortillas) we added some corn tortillas in a layer between the beans and tomatoes.

It was surprisingly tasty - I didn't expect too much after assembling it (it's not exactly cooking, which means it's an easy quick dinner item), but both my wife and I were very impressed. This is going to go on our list of quick and tasty entrees.
