Cannellini Bean Bake

Slice an onion and poach in water until tender
Drain, reserving the liquid
Put the liquid into a measuring jug and top up with milk to half a pint

Make a white sauce:
Melt 1oz butter and stir in 1oz plain flour and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes
Gradually add the half pint of onion cooking liquid/milk mix stirring constantly until smooth and thick

In the bottom of an oven proof dish put 2 (or 3 if feeding a hungry four) drained tins of cannellini beans. Top with the cooked onion followed by a tin of chopped tomatoes. Pour over the white sauce and cover with grated cheddar cheese. Cook in preheated oven 180C for about 20 minutes, until bubbling and cheese is golden.

Serve with salad and, optionally, crusty bread
