I love this big beans recipe. I used to believe the best baked beans came from Boston or Texas, but ever since I discovered this very hearty giant bean casserole, I have to give it to the Greeks. "Big Fat" refers not only to the size of the beans but also the huge flavor of this dish. Use the largest beans you can find: gigante beans are the best, but corona and lima beans also work great.

Ingredients

  • Corona beans: 1 pound (dried)
  • quarts cold water: 3 piece
  • bay leaves: 2 piece
  • red onion: 1 piece (diced)
  • garlic: 3 clove (sliced)
  • tomato sauce: 2 cups
  • tomato paste: 2 Tbsp
  • honey: 3 Tbsp
  • fresh dill: 0.5 cup (chopped)
  • extra-virgin olive oil: 0.5 cup
  • kosher salt: 1 Tbsp
  • black pepper: 1 tsp (freshly ground)
  • pinch cayenne pepper: 1 piece (to taste)
  • red wine vinegar: 0.25 cup
  • water: 2 cups (or more if needed)
  • ounces feta cheese: 4 piece
  • fresh dill: 1 Tbsp (chopped)

  4. Drain beans and spread into a large casserole dish. Add red onion, garlic, tomato sauce, tomato paste, honey, 1/2 cup dill, olive oil, salt, pepper, cayenne, vinegar, and water. Mix until well combined. Place the dish onto a lined baking sheet to catch any spills.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until top is bubbling and caramelized and beans are soft, about 1 hour. Check periodically and add more water if casserole is too dry.
