Five ingredients, one pan and low on fuss – this hearty plant-based dish by athlete Vanessa Low celebrates the best of summery tomatoes and basil and packs them with plenty of protein and fibre with tinned cannellini beans. Spoon onto thick slices of sourdough for a satisfying meal any time of the day.
