A Taste of Greek Home Cooking
Giant beans, or Gigantes, are a much-loved part of Greek cooking. They’re traditionally baked or slow-cooked with tomatoes, vegetables, herbs and olive oil until the beans become beautifully tender and the sauce thickens around them.
This version brings together Prespa giant beans and sweet Florina peppers, along with tomato, carrot, onion, wild garlic and celery. It’s the sort of simple, satisfying food that works just as well as part of a larger meze table as it does for an easy lunch or supper.
How to Enjoy
- Warm gently and serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
- Serve as part of a Greek meze spread with olives and feta.
- Enjoy with a fresh Greek salad for a simple meal.
- Add to a lunch bowl with grains and seasonal vegetables.
- Serve alongside grilled meat or fish if you’re putting together a larger Greek-style meal.
