Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.

- In a little oil, gently fry the shallot on a low heat until it begins to caramelise slightly; then add the garlic and herbs.
- Stir in the balsamic vinegar and remove from the heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Put the onion mixture, the beans, the basil, and the sun-dried tomatoes into a food processor and process to form a coarse farce. Transfer the farce to a bowl.
- Coarsely chop about 50 grams of the nuts, and add them to the farce.
- Finely process the remaining nuts together with the almond flour to form a mixed flour.
- Mix this nut flour into the farce until smooth and homogenous.
