I just popped this in the oven, now I have to wait about an hour or so. But the kitchen smells AMAZING. That spice combination of cinnamon, rosemary, sugar, bay leaf with the tomato paste is INCREDIBLE. I could almost eat it without baking it... EDIT: It's two hours later, and oh my god... this is amazing. I am eating it with Akis' Greek Pita Bread on the side to soak up some of the tomato and veggie sauce. You guys have to try this!

This dish defines our traditional cuisine actually, this and fasolada in my opinion. As for vegetables, you are free to go crazy I've tried the recipe with the addition of leeks, peppers, swede, turnip. Do not be afraid of garlic, Akis mentions it as well, the garlic is cooked for quite some time so it really leaves a sweet taste you can add more than 2 cloves of garlic. It's cheap, it's delicious and frankly it's a great dish for days you wish not to consume meat/fish. As for the side dishes, definitely feta cheese, olives and sourdough bread

Leeks are the prima ballerina of vegetables - they simply add the most flavour. The dish is great with crusty French bread and additional raw red onion.

I am Greek but I have lived in the UK for 19 years. The is a dish I made very often, and I have used a different veg combination every time from leeks, parsnips, squash, courgette, aubergine, whole baby tomatoes, fennel etc. If you cannot find the Greek beans you can also use butter beans or cannellini. Just adjust the cooking time in the oven for the cannellini as they are smaller and can be over cooked.

@@akispetretzikisen Thank you so much for your reply. I’m certain this will be a great dish, and I’m thrilled by the prospect of making it. (I went to your blog to pose the same question and noticed that the recipe implies that the zest of an entire lemon is to be used. You did not seem to use so much here, but I’d wondered if that was due to some time constraints for the video. May I ask how much zest is required?)
