- Place a medium saucepan on a low heat. Put in 2 tbsp of olive oil, the sliced garlic and onion and cook until they soften slightly. Add half the jar of passata sauce, salt and pepper and cook for 40 minutes. Add water if the sauce gets too thick.
- Whilst the sauce is cooking, prepare the bean salad. Drain the beans from the tins and wash them under cold water. Put a small pan of water to boil on the hob and add the beans. Let it cook for 10 minutes. When cooked, drain the beans and place into a bowl with the chopped chilli pepper. Dress with olive oil, salt and pepper and mix until it is well incorporated. Put into the fridge to cool.
- When the sauce is done, add the fresh basil leaves and polenta. Let it cook for 10 minutes and stir frequently to prevent any lumps occurring. If the mixture becomes thicker than porridge, add water. Once this is done, rub oil in the ramekins to prevent sticking. Place the mixture equally into 4 ramekins and put into the fridge to set for 1 hour.
- When it is ready to come out, make sure to run a knife around the edges of the tart first so that it slides out easily. Place the ramekin upside-down in the middle of a plate and it should slide out easily. Spoon out the bean salad around the polenta tart. Repeat these steps until you have four plates of food. Buon Appetito!
