Roasted Tomatoes with Cannellini Beans and Capers

This vegetarian dish is a good source of protein and an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin C and many phytochemicals. The creamy texture of the cannellini beans, the mild acidity of the roasted tomatoes and the saltiness of the capers come together in a combination that mates well with grilled fish, or with green vegetables as part of a vegetarian meal.
