Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Using a pastry brush and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lightly coat the skin side of each tomato half. Place skin side down on 2 baking sheets. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Bake until the tomatoes shrink to about one-quarter of their original size, about 4 to 6 hours; they should be soft and juicy. Cool. Sprinkle with the thyme.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the lima beans as directed, until quite soft. Drain and place in a food processor with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the cream, 1½ teaspoons of salt and pepper. Process until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread cubes in the bottom of a 12-by-3½-inch round clay casserole dish. Toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake until the bread is toasted, tossing twice, about 20 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Top the bread with the dried tomatoes. Crumble the goat cheese over the tomatoes. Spread the bean puree over the goat cheese. (The tian can be prepared a few hours ahead up to this point; bring to room temperature before baking.) Cover with aluminum foil and bake until heated through, about 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
