Categories     Beans

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb dried butter beans (soaked overnight) or 1 lb dried lima beans (soaked overnight)
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice (concasse)
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
3 large carrots, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
2 stalks celery & leaves, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 lb bacon, chopped (or 6 oz. bacon and 6 oz good quality pork sausage, cut up) (optional)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 vegetable bouillon cubes
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
enough hot water, to cover beans by 1 inch

Steps:

  • Cook the pre-soaked beans in a pressure cooker, with enough water to cover by one inch, for 20 minutes and allow to sit, undisturbed, for 2-3 hours before proceeding with recipe.
  • Tip the beans into a large baking pan.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients, except the dill, and stir well to distribute.
  • Pour over enough hot water to cover beans by 1".
  • Place pan in oven and set oven to 400°F.
  • Bake for 2 hours. Check, if you like your beans more tender, cook them a half hour longer.
  • Stir dill in for last 15 minutes of baking.
  • There will still be plenty of juices in the pan, but these will be absorbed by the beans and thicken as the beans cool.
  • Like nearly all bean recipes, these only improve the next day, and the day after next.
  • In Greece, these beans would constitute the main, 'vegetarian' meal and would not include the bacon, which is my own addition. We often eat meatless, especially when we're fasting. With or without the bacon or sausage, this is good eating, especially with a big chunk of sharp feta cheese on the side to nibble on between bites of beans and slurps of sauce and some good, honest, crusty bread to clean your plate up with. :-).

GIGANTES PLAKI RECIPE (GIGANDES GREEK BAKED 'GIANT' BEANS)



Gigantes Plaki recipe (Gigandes Greek Baked 'Giant' Beans) image

Filling and super-healthy! A traditional Greek Gigantes beans recipe (gigantes plaki), made of 'giant' beans baked in a tomato sauce with plenty of fresh herbs, for a unique taste!

Provided by Eli K. Giannopoulos

Categories     Main

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

500g gigantes beans (17 ounces)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small clove of garlic
1 large onion, finely chopped
4-5 tbsps parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tbsp celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup of hot water
400g (14 ounces) tinned chopped tomatoes or 600g (21 ounces) ripped fresh tomatoes, grated
1 tsp dried oregano
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • To prepare the gigantes (Gigsntes) plaki, start by soaking the gigantes beans overnight into plenty of water. Drain them into a colander and rinse with plenty of water.
  • Place the gigantes in a large pan with cold water, enough to cover them, add a pinch of sea salt and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 45 minutes, until tender but not cooked. Drain them in a colander and set aside.
  • In the meantime, pour into a large baking pan the olive oil, add the chopped onions, the whole garlic clove (peeled) and bake at 180C, until softened and slightly colored (approx. 15 minutes).
  • Turn the baking pan out of the oven. Add the gigantes beans (drained), the celery, the parsley, ½ cup of hot water and season with salt and pepper. Put back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the baking tray out of the oven, blend the gigantes beans lightly with a wooden spoon and pour in the grated tomatoes or plum tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, add a pinch of oregano and bake the gigantes plaki further for 50-60 minutes at 180C, until the beans are soft and tender and the sauce thickens.
  • For an easier alternative, after soaking the gigantes beans overnight, drain and rinse them. Place in a large pan with enough water to cover them and bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes, drain them and place into a large baking pan, along with all of the ingredients, cover with some aluminum foil and bake at 180C for approx. 2 hours. The last 30 minutes, bake without the aluminium foil. Enjoy!

Gigantes image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound gigantes (or big lima beans), soaked for 12 hours, drained
1/4 cup Greek olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15-ounce) can chopped plum tomatoes plus their liquid
2 cups water
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Add the beans to a pot with enough cold water to cover well. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until just soft throughout but not quite cooked, approximately 50 to 80 minutes, depending on the beans. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven. Add onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and their liquid, 2 cups water, honey, cloves, salt, and pepper and boil gently for 20 to 30 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Stir in the parsley and remove from heat.
  • Place the beans in an oven-proof dish, pour tomato mixture on top, stir and spread mixture out evenly. Bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until beans are soft. (Check the dish during cooking and if needed, add a small amount of boiling water.) The dish will look crispy on top. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GIGANTES (GREEK LIMA BEANS)



Gigantes (Greek Lima Beans) image

This is a family recipe. In Greek, it's called 'Gigantes' which translates as 'Giants.' Try to find the largest dried lima beans possible. My aunt adds small canned sausages, but I prefer this meatless. Serve with feta cheese and a crusty bread. You can also substitute 2 teaspoons parsley for the dill if you prefer.

  • Soak the beans. To cold-soak them, cover with plenty of cold water and let them stand overnight. To hot-soak them, cover them with plenty of boiling water and let stand 1 hour.
  • Drain the beans and place them in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover, season with 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until crisp-tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour (the timing can vary widely and will depend on the type and age of the beans), then drain the beans.
