Greek baked beans
Ingredients 1 can butterbeans or cannellini beans, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes, 50g passata tomatoes, coriander |
Serves: 2 Preparation: 30 minutes
Last year I worked on a number of Greek inspired recipes, and since creating this, I have eaten it four or five times in the last month - that's how much I LOVE this dish. Butterbeans have long been a favourite of mine for their delicate flavour and yielding texture and they are a fantastic base for this tangy, comforting tomato sauce. Served hot, dolloped with Rachel's Organic Greek Yoghurt, they make a fabulous side dish.
1) Drain the can of beans and rinse away the brine. Bring to the boil in a pan of hot water, then strain in a colander and set aside.
2) Stir the paprika, chilli flakes and coriander into the passata and then stir in the beans.
3) Transfer to an ovenproof dish and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
To make more of a meal of this, try adding some finely diced, sauteed onions to the sauce and topping with slices of tomato before baking.
