Method

1 Heat oil in your largest saucepan. Sauté the onion, garlic and leek until softened.

3 Stir in the borlotti beans, canned tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme and vegetable stock.
4 Bring to a simmer, then partially cover and cook gently for 45-50 minutes, stirring now and then, until the vegetables are tender and the casserole has thickened into a rich, herby broth.
5 Season generously and serve with crusty bread or over rice.
