Fasolia gigantes (oven roasted Lima beans)🇬🇷 instructions
- If you are using fresh beans put them in a pot with some salt and water and bring it almost to a boil from the night before and let them sit like that over night. They cook better that way. Or you can use caned Lima beans..
- Heat up the oven to 350F than chop the celery, and carrot, on a multi blender and set a side..
- On a cutting board chop the dill finely and put a side.
- Now chop the onion finely and put it on a frying skillet with a tap of oil and fry till glazed at medium heat.
- Now on a big enough oven pan add all the ingredients.
- Now stir everything and add enough water to cover the beans.
- Cover and put in oven for about 2 hrs. After 2 hrs in cover and cook till water dissipate.
- Goes good with a glass of white dry wine and I also like to drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Kali orexi. Enjoy.
