Ingredients

Units Scale

Chickpeas and White Beans:

  • 1 (15 oz.) can organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz.) can organic white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Tuscan Marry Me blend (or homemade blend)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 4 tablespoons organic tomato paste
  • 1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, organic
  • 1/2 cup premium tomato sauce (or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup organic vegetable stock, optional
  • 2 tablespoons white cooking wine
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic & Spices: Stir in minced garlic, Tuscan Marry Me blend, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add Tomato Ingredients: Mix in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetable stock (if using). Stir well to combine.
  4. Add Beans: Add drained chickpeas and white beans to the pot. Stir to coat with the sauce.
  5. Add Wine: Pour in white cooking wine and simmer the mixture over low-medium heat for 10–15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and let melt for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Serve: Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute mozzarella with vegan cheese.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more vegetable stock if a saucier dish is desired.
  • Pair with crusty bread or over cooked grains for a complete meal.
