INGREDIENTS:
Yield: 4 servings
6 tablespoons olive oil
⅔ cup panko bread crumbs
Salt and black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
⅓ cup tomato paste
2 (14-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed
1 can coconut cream
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard

1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup chopped jarred sun-dried tomatoes in oil
1 – 2 tablespoons of sundried tomato’s oil
4 (packed) cups/3 ounces baby arugula
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest plus 4 teaspoons juice (from 1 lemon)
Toasted bread (optional), for serving
PREPARATION:
Step 1
In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium. Stir in the panko, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently and shaking the pan, until toasted and golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer seasoned panko to a paper-towel lined plate, then wipe out the skillet. Add 1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast and 1 teaspoon paprika to toasted panko.
Step 2
Add another 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add the onion, garlic and crushed red pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the tomato paste and stir until darkened and mixture is combined, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in beans, coconut cream, and sun-dried tomatoes, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of whole grain mustard and 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, toss the arugula with the seasoned panko, lemon zest and juice, plus 1- 2 tablespoons of sundried tomato oil; season with salt and pepper. Pile the greens at the center of the bean mixture. Serve with toasted bread, if desired.
