After stints in consultancy, as well as in the travel and wine industries, she retrained as a nutritionist following the premature death of her brother from diabetes complications in 2012.  See more Published 04 January 2024 11:51am GMT This is a great little time-saver recipe where it can be made in advance and kept for several days in the fridge, or frozen. The simple Mediterranean flavours are familiar and comforting, and at just 210 calories per portion, you can enjoy a nice hunk of crusty baguette alongside it (a 50g slice = 135 calories). Overview Prep time 10 mins Cook time 45 mins Calories 210 Serves 4 Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, diced 4 garlic cloves, finely grated a few sprigs of fresh thyme, or 1 tsp dried thyme or dried mixed herbs 60ml dry white wine 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes 2 x 400g tins cannellini beans, drained and rinsed ½ tsp sugar 500ml vegetable stock made from a stock cube zest of 1 lemon, finely grated Method Step In a large saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over a medium heat. Step Add 1 small diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes or so, then add 4 grated garlic cloves and a few sprigs of fresh thyme, or 1 tsp dried thyme or dried mixed herbs and cook for another minute. Step Pour 60ml dry white wine into the pan and swirl around, then cook for another minute before adding in 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes, 2 x 400g tins drained and rinsed cannellini beans, ½ tsp sugar and 500ml vegetable stock.  Step Cover and simmer on a low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want it to reduce and thicken but there should be some sauce left, so stop cooking when it has reduced to the right consistency. Step Taste and season accordingly. Sprinkle over the finely grated zest of 1 lemon just before serving.
