Step 1

Boil half a kettle. Peel and cut the red onion into wedges.

Step 2

Add the onion wedges to a large pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and the onion has separated into petals.

Step 3

Peel and finely slice the garlic. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans.

Step 4

Add the garlic, smoked paprika and drained cannellini beans to the pan with the onion and cook for 1-2 mins until the garlic has softened. Pre-heat the grill to high.

Step 5

Wash the spinach and pat dry with kitchen paper or a clean towel. Add the spinach to the bean mix with the passata and 100ml of boiled water. Mix everything together and cook for 2-3 mins until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has thickened slightly. These are your smoky tomato beans.

Step 6

Grate the halloumi. Transfer your smoky beans to an over proof dish and top with the grated halloumi. Sprinkle the dried oregano over the top. Put the dish under the grill for 5 minutes until the halloumi has begun to melt and crisp up.

Step 7

While the dish is under the grill, wash and then cut the gem lettuce into 4 wedges and pat them dry with kitchen paper or a clean towel.

Step 8

Serve the halloumi topped beans on a plate with the lettuce wedges to the side. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the lettuce wedges and finish with a grind of black pepper.
