Gigantes Plaki \u2013 Baked White Beans in Tomato Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have an original Gigantes Plaki<\/a> recipe on this blog, and I love it. It\u2019s based on an original dish I enjoyed that last time I was in Greece. Though, it\u2019s made with dried beans which means it take a little more planning ahead, and more time, even if you have a pressure cooker. So I decided to make a new version of this tasty recipe, but this time not quite as traditional, but a whole lot quicker. Thanks to canned \u201cBianchi die Spagna<\/a>\u201d in other words, organic butter beans (also known as lima beans). They can be found at a well-stocked organic food store, otherwise canned or jarred fava beans (Dicke Bohnen) can be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both I would say are mild with a creamy texture. So canned beans yes. Quick. Weeknight quick. And leftovers are pretty darn tasty. For best results, I urge you to buy quality ingredients. The white beans and tomato sauce is a simple recipe that relies on good ingredients. For me, that means buying organic. If not, check the labels as some brands add sugar to the tomatoes and beans can vary in salt content.<\/p>\n\n\n
