Greek-style butter bean stew recipe

Recipe
This vegetarian butter bean stew recipe is full of sunshine flavours – think ripe tomatoes, sweet and sticky slow-cooked onions, creamy butterbeans and fragrant oregano, mint and lemon. It's crowned with tangy, lemony marinated feta – just add crusty bread for dipping. Any leftover feta can be popped in a jar and covered with olive oil then stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Method

step 1
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the onions (2) and peppers (2) along with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring now and again, for 15-20 minutes, until soft, sticky and caramelised.
step 2
Stir in the tomato paste (1 tbsp) and garlic (4 cloves) and cook for a further 2 minutes, until fragrant.
step 3
Stir in the butter beans (2 jars) with their liquid, passata (300 ml), Greek seasoning (2 tsp) and cinnamon (1/2 tsp). Bring to a simmer, then turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for 25 minutes, until thick and rich.
step 4
Meanwhile, to make the marinated feta, combine the olive oil (150 ml), lemon zest (1) and Greek seasoning (1 tsp) in a jar. Break the feta (1 pack) into chunks and place in the jar with the oil (you won’t need it all for this recipe, but it will keep well in the fridge for 2 weeks).
step 5
Finely chop the parsley (10 g). Spoon the stew into bowls, scatter with the parsley and crumble over some marinated feta. Finish with a spoonful of the oil from the jar.
