White Bean Casserole with Caramelised Onions
I ALWAYS have a tin or two of white beans in my pantry because I find them a super-convenient food to have around when you don’t feel like breaking a sweat over a meal. It’s probably my favourite legume, especially in this format. The caramelised onions are the longest step, but so worth it! They add so much flavour to the dish! Plus, it’s super quick and easy to make!
Enjoy!
