Hi there, Ameera here!
We absolutely devoured this super creamy and delicious Mediterranean White Bean and Tomato Skillet, and let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion! Hearty and filling, this bean dish is the ultimate comfort food that will leave you feeling satisfied and happy.
Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This Mediterranean White Bean Tomato Skillet is classic Mediterranean dish. Traditionally this dish relies heavily on olive oil for flavor; however, this WFPB dish does not use any oil or cheese yet is delicious and full of flavor. The fresh tomatoes add fantastic freshness. This quick and easy dish is great for a fast, satisfying dinner.
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese: We used our recipe, Vegan Parmesan Cheese. Feel free to use your favorite vegan parmesan cheese recipe or store purchased. A sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese on individual servings really elevates this dish.
- Table Salt: If using table salt, you should use less table salt than the amount listed in the ingredients as sea salt crystals are larger than table salt crystals. Since table salt crystals are very fine, less table salt is required to season a dish. We would suggest starting with about 1/4 to 1/2 the amount of sea salt listed. You can always add more salt but cannot take it away. We recommend using sea salt as it is less refined than table salt.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep 5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This dish can be frozen.
Pantry Products:
- Vegetable Stock: We use Pacific Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Stock. We love this brand because it is Whole Food Plant Based compliant, as it does not contain MSG, has no oil, and does not contain any highly-processed ingredients.
- Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
Kitchen Equipment:
- Large deep skillet

I made this after breakfast, so that the flavours would have time to meld for dinner. It was fantastic! Paired it with some flatbread. And leftovers the next day were even better!
Definitely going to be a repeat recipe.
