Giant baked beans

This is a home developed version of a traditional Greek dish known as γίγαντες πλακί, which I am sure that you know is pronounced yee-gahn-dess plar-kee. Also known as "baked beans for grown ups" (*).

This dish is also used as a basis for several other recipes in the VegHead's kitchen, so if you see another recipe that calls for "giant baked beans" this is it. We make a batch of this up generally once a week and most of it then goes into other recipes.

Things wot go in...

• 500 grams of cooked butter beans
  
• 1 large clove of garlic, crushed
• 1 small onion, finely sliced and chopped
• 2 teaspoons of chopped dill
• 2 teaspoons of chopped parsley
  
• Ground pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon of light miso
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• Boiled water

The doing...

• Dissolve the miso and tomato pastes in about 1/4 cup of boiled water
• Mix all ingredients. If it looks too dry add a little more water. If you accidentally add too much water then increase the cooking time.
  
• Bake in a covered dish in a pre-heated hot oven for about 30 minutes

* hahaha - just reviewed this post before publishing and spotted that I had mistyped "baked beans for grown ups" as "naked beans for grown ups". Lucky I saw that...
