Description

These Greek-style baked beans are amazing. They’re gorgeous. They smell heavenly. Luscious soft beans and succulent chunks of tomatoes scented with fresh dill and savory garlic bits, topped by a layer of crispy golden bean skins and tangy speckles of crumbled feta cheese.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces, weight Dried Giant Lima Beans
  • 32 ounces, weight Canned Chopped Tomatoes With Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Roast Chicken Drippings (or Reduced Sodium Savory Broth Concentrate)
  • 3 whole Cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (or To Taste)
  • 3 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Dill
  • 2 ounces, weight Low-fat Feta Cheese, Crumbled

Preparation

Place lima beans in a large pot and cover with water (at least three times the volume of the beans). Soak beans overnight.

The next day, bring beans to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Drain. Add tomatoes (with juice), olive oil, chicken drippings, garlic, sea salt, and 1 tablespoon fresh dill. Stir gently to combine ingredients and then pour into a 9 x 13 – inch casserole dish.

Bake at 375 F for 1 1/2 hours, pouring more water over as necessary if beans appear dry. Sprinkle the remaining fresh dill and crumbled feta cheese over and serve!

Oh my goodness…I wasn’t expecting this to be so good. Such simple ingredients but SO MUCH FLAVOR! The feta is perfect for this dish!

I used 3 teaspoons of dry dill since I didn’t have fresh…absolutely amazing and so easy to make! Thanks for a wonderful new recipe!
