Description

Fasolakia Yiyantes is a beloved Greek dish featuring giant white beans slow-cooked until tender in a savory mixture of tomatoes, garlic, and onions. The beans absorb the deep, aromatic flavors of olive oil and fresh herbs, creating a creamy, comforting texture that is both rustic and elegant. This vegan-friendly main course is perfect for cozy family dinners or as a hearty side dish for festive gatherings. It relies on simple, pantry-staple ingredients to deliver a robust, satisfying meal that tastes even better the next day. Ideal for anyone looking for a nutritious, plant-based option with authentic Mediterranean flair.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the dried giant white beans thoroughly and soak them in plenty of cold water overnight.
  2. Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot of fresh cold water; bring to a boil, then simmer for 45 minutes until partially tender.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  4. Drain the partially cooked beans and set aside.
  5. In a large oven-safe baking dish, combine the oil, chopped onions, and the whole head of garlic.
  6. Bake the onion and garlic mixture in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the onions are soft and golden.
  7. Add the drained beans, chopped celery, minced parsley, salt, and pepper to the baking dish; stir well to combine.
  8. Pour in 1 cup of hot water and stir until the beans are just covered with liquid.
  9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven, stir the beans gently, and add the peeled and strained tomatoes (or diluted tomato paste).
  11. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and only a layer of oil remains on top.
  12. Serve hot, ensuring each portion gets a generous amount of the aromatic oil and garlic.
