Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 small onions (or 1 medium) finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 oz can tomato passata
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 28 oz large butter beans 2 (14 oz) cans, drained and rinsed
- 1¼ cups kalamata olives pitted
- ⅓ cup feta crumbled
- 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- At the same time preheat a large oven-proof frying pan over medium-low heat. Add oil and heat until hot.
- Add onion and garlic, sauté until slightly golden brown.
- Stir in the tomato passata, cinnamon, nutmeg, oregano, and smoked paprika. Mix well and cook until it forms into a thick sauce, about 6-8 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the sauce into a baking dish. Stir in the butter beans and pitted olives. Gently mix to combine.
- Top with crumbled feta. Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Tomato passata: This is essentially cooked tomato puree. If you can’t find tomato passata, substitute with tomato puree.
- Smoked paprika: Smoked paprika adds an extra depth of flavor. You can substitute with regular paprika, but it will have less flavor.
- Butter beans: These are also called lima beans. Use canned, large butter beans. You can substitute with corona or Gigante beans, but they are harder to find canned.
- Feta: Some feta comes in a block that you crumble yourself. You can also buy feta already crumbled.
- If you have a dutch oven, you can make the sauce on the stove, add the beans, and bake the dish all in one pot.
- Storage: Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven or microwave.
