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.
