Ingredients
- Butter Bean: 4 x 235g cans butter beans or 500g dried butter beans (cook according to pack instructions)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 100ml Greek extra virgin olive oil
- Red Onion: 3 small red onions, finely sliced
- Carrot: 2 large carrots, finely sliced
- Celery: 3 celery stalks with leaves, finely chopped
- Sundried Tomato: 4 sundried tomatoes, sliced
- Tomato: 1kg ripe tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and finely chopped
- Garlic Clove: 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- Paprika: 1 tsp paprika
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Tomato Puree: 2 tbsp tomato puree
- Sugar: 1 tsp sugar
- Flat Leaf Parsley: small pack flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- Dill: small pack dill, finely chopped
- Feta: 100g feta (optional), crumbled
Directions
- Drain the canned beans, reserving 200ml of the liquid. Heat the oil in a large flameproof lidded casserole dish, and cook the onions, carrots and celery until tender and the onions are soft and transparent, but not coloured. Stir in the remaining ingredients, reserving half of the chopped herbs and feta (if using).
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cook over a gentle heat for a further 5 mins, then pour over the reserved liquid. Cover the dish and bake in the oven for 40 mins. Check occasionally that the beans are not drying out - add a little more water if needed.
- Remove the lid and bake for 10 mins more. Can be made 2 days ahead and reheated. Stir through the reserved chopped herbs, season to taste, then crumble over the remaining feta just before serving.
