Giant Baked Beans - Fasolia Gigantes - Traditional Greek Recipe 

we do too ! did you try this recipe?

Malcolm Lewis hello:) in Greece we usually eat it with a Greek salad or on its own with bread. Some like it with sausages too. I like it a lot with red pepper too (not chilli, a special kind called here Florinis pepper) either along with carrots as its cooked or separately as a salad with e.v.o.o, lemon juice and salt

Malcolm Lewis well if you like this you will also like beans based salad .You boil black eyed peas let them cool and throw them into a bowl .add lemon juice lettuce onions some salt and pepper and a little bit of garlic if you want to and they are ready.

Something you need for sure. The feature turns a greasy mess into a gleaming newness.

+jean19721997 Yes of course. Fresh tomatoes taste even better !!!

@@GreekHomeMade I just came back to tell you that this dish is a staple in my household now. I usually make it with fresh tomatoes.

I don't really like garlic, but if you do of course you can add it :)

We always brine dry beans, otherwise you can't use them. Another way if you forget to brine them is: You put them in cold water until they come to a boil, then you turn the heat off, you cover the pot with it's lid and you leave the beans for an hour in there. After this you can start cooking them ;)

I soaked by beans overnight with salt and they all split in half and the skins all came off. Am I doing something wrong? I used cold water.

You brine your beans only in water.Salt does this to beans

Copy comment: Cooks Illustrated (yet again) debunked this. As with potatoes, you need to add the salt in order for the beans to be fully flavored.

@@borisbeverton5998 salt make the beans tougher.

You're right. Somehow it got deleted from the description box. Anyway, I got it back on. Thanks for watching

I loved the music so much that I went and looked up the song 😊 We're all different I suppose. Happy cooking!

Best music ever

It's parsley. It shows in the beginning and in the comments where I've written all the ingredients 😊
