Gigantes (those BIG Lima Beans) Baked with Tomatoes and Pomegranate Molasses
I have a few loved recipes where beans are baked in stock and a drizzle of oil. We make them all Winter because they are so easy to make, so delicious, and they can accompany almost anything. Both the Italians and the Greeks are specialists at baking beans.
We have used our home made molasseses in this dish - pomegranate or quince. I have sometimes used home-made Hawaiian Chilli Water too for a bit of a kick.
Use can also use Grape Molasses if you have it for an authentic Greek touch, or try other available types – date molasses or even tamarind molasses. When the molasses has been too sweet I have added sour grapes from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern stores.
Each variation will give the beans a different flavour, so you will never get bored with this type of dish. Diane Kochilas, in her book Ikaria, says she has made this dish with pine honey and orange juice! Diane is my go-to person for Greek recipes.
