- 6 tablespoons parmesan, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
- 1 x coriander chopped fresh

- Pre-heat oven to 300F (150C), 150 degrees C, gas mark 2.

- Spread onion pieces out in a heavy frying pan.
- Cook over moderate heat without stirring until the onions are sizzling and beginning to stick to the pan.
- Stir in the stock and let it bubble up, stirring up the browned deposits in the pan as it bubbles.
- Stir in the garlic and the spices.
- Turn the heat down and simmer, stirring frequently until the mixture is thick, not at all soupy, and the onions and spices are frying in their own juices.
- Don't rush this step.
- It is essential that the spices should not have a harsh raw taste.
- Stir in the black beans and heat gently.
- Mash roughly while still in the pan, with a potato masher.
- You want a rough lumpy mixture, not a smooth puree.
- Set aside.
- In a gratin dish spread a layer of a third of the tortilla pieces.
- Spread a layer of the black beans over the tortillas and spread a third of the tomato sauce over the black beans.
- Sprinkle with one third of the cheeses.
