I made this today the flavors are delicious!!!
Thinking of adding in some chicken thighs to this recipe. Your thoughts and when would be a good time to add them in? Brown them first then add them in or cook them after you cook the veggies ? By the way I made your chicken thigh onion recipe last night. Omg it was so easy and so delicious
I love Limassol beans n I will try her recipe, thanku for sharing…🙂💫👍🏾
Greek food the best 🇬🇷 ❤
Hello from Italy 🇮🇹
No cinnamon gross with beans!
To my hot olive oil I add cumin seeds to all those veggies but I add good Badia brand adobo powder seasonings and chopped colorful peppers and fresh fine pressed garlic and chopped cilantro and cilantro and chopped big leaf and small leaf oregano and recao/culantro. Then add chopped red tomatoes and kosher salt to taste
one of my fav dishes i make when i am missing home… never seen it with cinnamon before tho, interesting…
usually in greece we only use cinnamon for meat dishes… at least where i am from.
if u want to make it even more authentic, use the leaves of the cellery as well and always use a bit less oil while cooking, and add a lot of fresh olive oil on top, that way u get all the health benefits of the oil and it tastes a lot better! and make the oven hotter or leave em in longer, those beans need some color!
Qestion about the butter beans. Do the skins need to be pulled off?
What do you need to do to use dried beans? I know to soak them overnight. Do I also cook them prior to adding them to the tomato mixture? What should I cook them in? Broth? Water? A lot of water like a soup or a little water like a stew?
👌👌❤️🌻❤️🌻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your videos are great
Good recipes and fun to watch
Definitely making this? Do you have a multi bean video dish I could make as well? We are trying to get more beans into our diet these days
Are you married???😍
If you not gonna bake it, you can add some more water or chicken stock and you’ve got delicious bean soup.
