This dish with giant white beans and fresh tomato sauce has got to be the easiest thing to put together while on holiday. Especially in the south of France where ripe tomatoes are plentiful, as is fresh basil. Okay, truth be known, I actually brought the bag of “Riesenbohnen” (aka jumbo or giant beans) with me from Germany. I know, strange indeed, but I love these beans and wasn’t sure I would find them in Aix en Provence. And I was right. Green puy lentils, caviar lentils and dried chickpeas are the only things I’ve stumbled across. Plus oh-so popular superfood quinoa.<\/p>\n

\nI haven’t cooked these beans for ages now. Preparing them takes a little foresight, and in summer with so many nights out (remember we don’t have a balcony!) dinners at home are spontaneous. So during those two weeks where we spend our summer holidays with the kids in a Airbnb rental with a terrace and a pool, it’s another story. We cook in a lot, but as every year, cooking while on vacation means sticking to simple recipes with locally grown fresh produce, just like this one. We enjoyed this with brunch along with some crusty bread and a green salad.<\/p>\n

a vegetarian dish loaded with nutrients<\/h2>\n

As a vegetarian dish, this dish is of course a great source of protein, antioxidants and fiber. The addition of the no-cook tomato sauce not only makes the beans tastier but the vitamin C in the tomato helps increase the absorption of iron from the beans.<\/p>\n
