Description

Not sure how to eat a Mediterranean diet? Eat more legumes (in place of meat) cooked in tomato sofrito sauce. I made this super easy Greek butter bean dish using canned butter beans.

Ingredients
  • 1 can butter beans (rinsed, drained)
  • 300 grams cherry tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • 1/2 capsicum (diced)
  • 1 zucchini (thinly diced)
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon smokey paprika
  • 1 stock cube
  • 200 milliliters water
  • 4 tablespoons EV olive oil
  • 100 grams feta cheese
Instructions
  1. Sauté onion and garlic.
  2. Add zucchini, capsicum, water and stock cube and simmer until soft.
  3. Add pasta sauce, herbs, paprika and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add butter beans & pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle with fetta and bake in oven 180 degrees for 15-20 min or until excess water has evaporated.
