Instructions
- To make the waffles : Combine the oil, agave, milk, juice, and salt in a large bowl. Add the flour and yeast and stir for a few minutes, stabbing the dough with a spatula to make sure it gets kneaded. Cover and let rise for 2 hours, until its size doubles. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 or 8 equal portions; the dough will be sticky, so moisten your hands if needed. Use a heaping ½ cup dough for 4 portions or ¼ cup for 8 portions. Place portions on a piece of parchment paper and let rest for 15 minutes. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, heat a waffle iron and coat lightly with spray. Place one (if using a standard waffle iron) or two (if using a large and wide Belgian waffle iron) portions of dough on the iron and press closed for a few seconds to spread the dough. Bake for 8 minutes, or until golden brown and the edges of the waffles aren’t doughy. Cool waffles on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- To make the beans : Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the tomatoes, shallot, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, until the tomatoes get saucy. Combine the vinegar, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Add to the pan, and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans, salt, and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
- To assemble the Sandwiches : Spread butter on each waffle. Divide the bean mixture among the waffles, sprinkle with a little parsley, and serve.
