Yigandes Plaki - Greek Baked Beans & Tomato Casserole image

This is a traditional vegetarian Greek dish. The main ingedients are of course, the huge beans & tomato.....try to find original yigandes (gigantes, gigandes) beans at a Greek or ethnic market for this dish, otherwise use the biggest lima beans you can find. Recipe by: Nancy Gaifyllia.She says "Restaurants serve this as a meze (in small portions), but because of the quantity in which it's fixed, unless you're planning a selection of mezether for a large gathering, it works better as a main dish" Time to make doesn't include soaking time.

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb yigandes beans, soaked for 12 hours, drained (or big lima beans)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1 lb of ripe tomatoes, peeled, finely chopped (or 16oz. of canned chopped plum tomatoes)
2 small vegetable bouillon cubes
sea salt (optional)
fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 cups water (1 1/2 cups if using canned tomatoes)

Steps:

  • Add the beans to a pot with enough cold water to cover well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook at a slow boil for 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 325F (160C).
  • Using a wooden spoon, sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil until soft.
  • Add tomatoes (if using canned, add all liquid as well), bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, parsley, and water, and allow to boil gently for 10-30 minutes, until it begins to thicken.
  • Place the beans in an oven-proof pan, add tomato mixture, 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, cover, and allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • When using after refrigerating, allow it to come to room temperature, or heat briefly in the microwave. This dish is not served hot.

Categories     Beans

Time 2h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb gigantes or butter beans (soak them in water overnight)
2 tomatoes, grated (or diced, or canned crushed tomatoes)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste, mixed with a bit of water
3/4 cup olive oil
parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight, the longer, the better.
  • Preheat oven at 350 Farenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
  • Drain and rinse the beans and boil in water for about 40 minutes to an hour, until they are soft but not mushy. Make sure you boil them enough; otherwise the beans will be too hard to eat even after baking.
  • Sauce - Sauté the onion in a bit of olive on low heat until soft and add the garlic cloves whole. If you want a stronger garlic flavor you can mince the garlic.
  • Add the tomato (you can use cherry tomatoes cut in thin slices, but the traditional way is grating the tomato), the tomato paste, parsley, salt and pepper to taste and about ¼ cup olive oil. Let it simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Once the beans have boiled, drain them and put them back into the pot, add the sauce and mix gently. Pour the mixture in a pan and spread evenly and then pour about another ¼ cup olive oil over the beans and bake for about 50 minutes until beans are tender.
  • Accompany with feta cheese and bread.
