1. Set oven to 220ºC.
Heat an ovenproof pan with 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add mince and cook, breaking up lumps, for 4-5 minutes or until browned. Chop and add onion and celery, add to pan as you go.
2. Add stripped rosemary leaves, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 stock cube, tomato paste, beans and 1/2 tin water. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
3. Tear the bread into bite sized chunks. Toss with ricotta, 1 tsp oregano, salt and pepper. Scatter over the top of the meat mixture (if using an ovenproof pan, see notes). Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden.
4. Rinse and roughly chop lettuce. Slice avocado and capsicum. Toss in a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional).
5. Serve bake at the table with dressed side salad. Drizzle with extra balsamic vinegar if you desire.
Notes:
