Ingredients
Serves 6-8
- 300g butter beans
- 300g chickpeas
- 4-6 cloves of garlic
- 4 onions
- 2 Florina peppers (red-bell peppers work fine too)
- 2 tomatoes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 bay leaves
- A little fresh oregano or thyme
- Pepper
- 1 tbsp salt
Directions
Soak your legumes in plenty of water overnight.
Rinse them and place them in a wide saucepan.
Cover the contents with cold water and let it come to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and boil for about 45 minutes until they’ve softened.
Cut the onions, tomatoes and peppers into thin slices.
In a deep pan, add half of the olive oil and the onions.
Leave them on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until they become translucent.
Add the whole garlic cloves and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Pour in 1 cup of hot water or broth and the remaining olive oil.
Add the bay leaves and a little oregano or thyme.
Cover the casserole and bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC for 30 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 170ºC and continue baking until the legumes absorb the liquids.
Serve warm with a slice of bread and cheese.
