Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and finely diced
- about 100g cooked ham, shredded or finely sliced (fat trimmed)
- 1 x 570g jar Bold Bean Co organic white beans
- 1 leftover parmesan rind
- 10g parmesan, grated
- crusty bread, to serve (optional)
Step by step
- Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan over a mediumlow heat. Add the onion and carrot and sauté for 6-8 minutes, until softened. Add the ham and cook for a further minute, then pour in the beans with their liquid. Fill the bean jar with water (you need about 400ml), swirl and add to the pan with the parmesan rind. Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes until everything is heated through. Add a splash more water if needed. Season, remove the parmesan rind and divide between bowls. Top with the grated parmesan and some black pepper. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
