🥄 Texture

Creamy and slightly chunky: tender, warmed beans provide a soft, meaty base while diced tomatoes add gentle juiciness and occasional fleshiness. Melted cheese and stirred-in yogurt create a silky, cohesive finish with a light oiliness from the olive oil.

👃 Aroma

Warm, bright tomato notes dominate with a fresh, slightly acidic tomato scent uplifted by the olive oil's fruity aroma. Behind that is a mild dairy/cheese aroma and a subtle earthy bean background that gives the dish a homey scent.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light pilsner works well; for non-alcoholic, sparkling water with lemon or an unsweetened iced tea complements the dish.

🥗 Side Dishes

Steamed rice or quinoa, crusty bread or warm tortillas for scooping, a simple green salad with vinaigrette, or roasted vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat for about 1 minute until it's warm.

    Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juice.

    Pour in the drained beans and stir everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through.

  4. 4

    Remove the pan from heat and stir in the yogurt until well combined. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and let it sit for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts from the heat of the pan.

  5. 5

    Give everything a gentle stir to mix in the melted cheese, then serve warm in bowls.
