How to Prepare
1
Heat the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft.
2
Add the diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, mixed spices and cumin, and cook until the tomatoes break down.
3
Stir in the tomato paste and the water and let it simmer into a sauce.
4
Add the boiled white beans and cook a few minutes, lightly mashing some of them so the dish thickens and turns creamy.
5
Serve hot with a drizzle of melty liquid cheese on top.
✦ Chef Noor's Tip
Mash only part of the beans — leaving some whole gives the dish a nicer texture.
