Savory Tomato and Parmesan Crumble

Loaded with beans, vegetables, and herbs and calling on preserved tomatoes, this savory crumble is hearty and oozing with parmesan.

In cooking, more often than not – the simpler, the better. One pan. Some good ingredients. Tomatoes. Beans. Parmesan cheese. Add heat and time, and voila, a dish that makes the angels sing. It really shouldn’t be more complicated than that, and with this recipe – it really isn’t.

A few notes:

• This recipe, at its base, is a simple crumble. I used romesco and cannellini beans, but you could use any veggies or herbs you have on hand and need to get rid of.
• You can use all cornmeal instead of cornmeal/corn flour to keep it simple.
• When it comes to tomatoes, splurge as much as you can. Even the most expensive canned tomatoes are just a few dollars more expensive than the cheapest ones – but they truly make the end result so much better.
• The same thing goes for the cheese – get the highest quality Parmigiano Reggiano cheese you can afford and find. It is the other key ingredient in this dish.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk chopped tomatoes together with cornstarch, lemon juice + zest, tamarin, sumac, salt and red pepper flakes. Then, stir in romesco, beans, garlic, shallot and herbs until well combined. Add to 9×9 or similar sized baking dish and set aside.
