This is a very traditional Greek recipe that I love. Can be done completely vegan if you are plant based and can use a vegan stock cube. You only have to soak the beans overnight and then can be done quickly. I make a big batch and have for a few days.

Steps

1

Soak the giant beans over night
2

Next day add the beans with a bit of salt in a pot and simmer on medium heat for 1 hour
3

In the meantime and while the beans are cooking : Wash well and cut all veggies - I also added some small thinly sliced veggies as it was left over from my baby’s food 😅
4

Turn oven on 180 on fan to prepare. Add all veggies including onion, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, bay leaves and cinnamon sticks, in a pot on medium high heat, add olive oil and cook. After 15 min, add rosemary, parsley, lemon zest and mix. Add stock with water and mix.
5

Now add wine and let it evaporate for like 15 min. Then add beans, salt and pepper and stir.
6

Add everything in an oven enamel or Pyrex dish and place in the oven for 1 hour covered. You have to check every 15 min to see whether you need to add a bit of water. After 1 hour it should be ready. Add parsley and feta and serve! Enjoy!
