Ingredients
1 pound giant butter or lima beans, soaked in water overnight
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 (28 ounce can) tomatoes pureed in blender
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish
about 1 cup or more of crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Soak the beans in a large bowl filled with cold water. Drain the water in the morning.
Place beans in a large pot covered with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the beans about 40 minutes or until tender but not mushy. They will continue cooking in the oven. Strain the beans and place them in a 9x13inch baking dish. Drizzle some olive oil on top and season with salt.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.
Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a saucepan. Add onions and cook over medium-low heat until soft and golden. About 10-15 minutes. Add garlic and warm through until fragrant. Add tomato puree, spices and sugar.
Bring to a boil and cook the sauce for 3-5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the beans and mix well. Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and top with crumbled feta cheese. Tuck the feta into the sauce and return to the oven to bake for 10 more minutes.
If the sauce has completely been absorbed into the beans add some hot water (about a cup) and mix together.
Top with fresh parsley and serve with olives and salad.
