Rustic tomato and butter bean gratin with uneven golden sourdough crumbs — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Beans become far more satisfying when some stay whole and others collapse into the tomato juices. Torn bread is better than machine-fine crumbs here because the varied pieces toast at different rates.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Start the tomatoes

Heat the oven to 220°C. Toss tomatoes, onion and garlic with 2 tablespoons oil and salt in a broad baking dish. Roast for 22 minutes.

Make two bean textures

Stir in the beans, crushing about one-quarter against the side of the dish so they thicken the juices. Fold through most of the basil.

Tear the crumb

Toss sourdough, parmesan, thyme and remaining oil. Leave a mixture of tiny crumbs and larger rough pieces.

Cover without paving

Scatter the crumb loosely over the beans, leaving a few gaps where tomato can bubble through.

Bake to varied gold

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the tallest crumbs are dark gold and the edges bubble. Rest for 5 minutes and finish with basil.
