Ingredients

  • Flat Leaf Parsley - 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus extra to serve
  • Garlic Clove - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Olive Oil - 3 tbsp Greek extra virgin olive oil, plus more to serve
  • Onion - 1 Spanish onion, finely chopped

  • Sugar - 1 tsp sugar
  • Oregano - 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Tomato Puree - 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • Butter Bean - 400g dried butter beans
  • Ground Cinnamon - pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Soak the beans overnight in plenty of water. Drain, rinse, then place in a pan covered with water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, then simmer for approx 50 mins until slightly tender but not soft. Drain, then set aside.
  2. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, tip in the onion and garlic, then cook over a medium heat for 10 mins until softened but not browned. Add the tomato puree, cook for a further min, add remaining ingredients, then simmer for 2-3 mins. Season generously, then stir in the beans.

The beans will absorb all the fabulous flavours and the sauce will thicken. Allow to cool, then scatter with parsley and drizzle with a little more olive oil to serve.
