This simple, hearty dish is surprisingly flavorful thanks to a generous amount of lemon, herbs and pesto. The white beans that serve as the base become melt-in-your-mouth creamy while delivering a wealth of protein. Cook and serve it in a cast-iron or enameled pan for a rustic French presentation. Heap it over your favorite rice for a complete meal.
