How to Prepare White Bean Gratin [Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free]

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the coconut oil in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, jalapeño, celery, carrot and potatoes and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the tomato paste along with 1 cup (235 ml) of water, the bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste and cook for 15 minutes.
Add the white beans and cook, stirring, for another 15 minutes. In a high-speed blender, combine all the béchamel sauce ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pour the sauce over the bean mixture and place in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
Top with chopped parsley and optionally serve alongside white rice.
