Here's 10 of our favourite recipes that showcases this duo in their full glory.

Slow Roasted Tomatoes + White Beans

This dish appreciates both the tom + the bean in it's full glory: there's no room for hiding here! But when you can get your hand on the best quality, you can let those ingredients do the talk with very little else doing to them.  A hunk of crusty bread is a must for scooping + mopping the juices. 

Confit Tomato + Chickpeas

If you're unfamiliar with confit-ing, it's a process of cooking something low + slow while it bathes in a load of olive oil + a handful of extra flavourings. Here, the tomatoes go soft + jammy while the chickpeas have that crisp outer but keep their soft centre. An ideal topper to tumble onto whipped feta crostinis.

Butter Bean Caprese with Marinated Tomatoes

A caprese salad is a summer DELIGHT. What makes it better? Big, creamy, juicy QUEEN BUTTER BEANS. Not only do the beans add extra protein, but they also turn a very light salad into something more satisfying + filling. Don't have time to marinate the toms? No fear. You can simply use the marinade as a dressing to drizzle the salad with at the very end, meaning it's ready to whip up in as little as 10 minutes! 

Butter Beans, Fennel + Slow Roasted Tomatoes

THIS is what we call a hearty dish. The charred fennel + our Queen Butter Beans create a real sturdy + satisfying base for the roasted toms to sit on top of. It's super balanced, full of texture + flavour AND you've got the added bonus of a bit of parmesan to top it all off. DELICIOUS. You can watch this recipe in action here. 

Tomato + Gochujang Cream Chickpeas

We'll hold our hands up + say that we're partial to flavours of the med. BUT, this asian-inspired dish showcases beans + tomatoes in a whole new culinary light. It's fiery thanks to the gochujang paste + a wee bit indulgent thanks to the cream, and makes a seriously tasty dinner any night of the week. We've topped ours with crispy kale, but a bit of pak choi would also work wonders. 

Chickpea Mezze with Tomatoes + Goats Cheese

A dinner party DELIGHT. Tomatoes + certainly beans may not be the first on your radar to impress at a dinner party, but we reckon this dish proves otherwise! We're pulping the chickpeas here and allowing those sweet juices to bath into our Queen Chickpeas. A cool base of creamy, slightly tangy goats cheese sets it all off.

Chickpea, Tomato + Harissa Stew with Herby Yogurt

Our most loved recipe to date - AND TOO RIGHT!! The toms are blistered + are fired up with punchy harissa. Queen Chickpeas create the bulk of the dish and it's all set off with a cooling, herby caper yog. Not only is it flavour-packed but it's also ready in just 10 minutes. WINNER WINNER BEANS + TOMS FOR DINNER. The toms are blistered + swirled through a punchy harissa

Creamy Butter Beans, Charred Tomatoes + Salsa Verde

If you're in need of a recipe to add to your weeknight dinner recipe bank, then THIS is the recipe for you. It's got everything you could want in a meal; nourishing, ziny, creamy + comforting; it's both one for the hot + cooler months and has a real banging balance of flavour. 

Roasted Tomato, Crispy Chickpea + Feta Toasts

THIS IS WHAT BEANS ON TOAST LOOKS LIKE. Crispy chickpeas, jammy toms + tangy feta all tumbled onto crispy hunks of sourdough. A bit of pesto to drizzle on top is a MIGHTY FINE addition too!

Slow Roasted Tomato + White Bean Caprese Salad

A caprese take 2. This one requires a little more labour of love as the toms are slowly roasted until bursting + jammy, giving a hot + cold contrast to that creamy mozzarella. Forget salad leaves, our white beans create the base of the salad + give this guy some real oomph.
