Directions

Prep 15 minCook 30 min

1
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
2
Add diced shallot and minced thyme, cooking until shallots are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Lower heat if shallots brown too quickly.
3
Stir in red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, capers, and two-thirds of the garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add tomato paste, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until it darkens slightly.
4
Add halved cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add water, continue simmering for another 5 minutes, mashing tomatoes until sauce is slightly thickened.
5
Stir in soy sauce and beans, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.
6
To make gremolata, finely chop parsley, zest lemon over it, and add remaining garlic. Mix and set aside.
7
Toast bread for serving.
8
Once beans reach desired consistency, stir in balsamic vinegar. Adjust seasoning and serve hot with gremolata and toast.
