Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Chop the onion and garlic and halved the tomatoes. Place a large frying pan on to a high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chopped onions and cook for 4-5 minutes with a large pinch of salt. Reduce the heat and add the garlic and cook for a further 2 mins.

Step 2

Heat the garlic flatbread as per the packet instructions.

Step 3

Tip in the halved tomatoes (add a pinch of chilli flakes if you'd like a bit of heat) and cook, with a lid on for 5-6 minutes until the tomatoes start to collapse. While the tomatoes are cooking, prepare the cavolo nero by stripping the leaves from the woody stalks and shredding or tearing the leaves into manageable pieces. Give the torn leaves a quick wash before adding them to the tomatoes and onions. Allow to cook for 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Season the dish with lots of black pepper and tip in the drained butter beans and pesto. Heat through before adding the lemon zest and juice and serving. Top with the grated veggie hard cheese.
