YIGANDES PLAKI - GREEK BAKED BEANS & TOMATO CASSEROLE



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.
