Greek Food: Gigantes Beans with Bacon & Cretan Graviera Cheese



Now, I have long enjoyed southern Greek versions of baked Gigantes, but when I was 1st introduced to the spicy northern variation I was immediately hooked. I have a thing for spicy dishes, especially during the winter months here in Canada. Thus, I thought it might be fitting to share my own seasonal spicy and savoury variation on the classic baked Gigantes theme. In addition to the boukovo, I added two unconventional ingredients to my recipe: thick-cut bacon and mild-flavoured Cretan Graviera cheese. The result was simply mouth-watering and I hope you will give this Greek comfort food recipe a try.


Ingredients:



=½ lb. dried Gigantes beans
=¼ lb. Cretan Graviera cheese
=2 - 3 slices extra-thick cut bacon
=1 medium sized onion
=1 red bell pepper (diced)
=1 cup strained tomato pulp/sauce
=½ cup Olive oil
=3 garlic cloves
=A small bunch of Parsley, finely chopped
=1 tbsp. Boukovo or red pepper (chilli) flakes
=1 tbsp. dried Greek oregano
=Salt & pepper

 Preparation:

=Soak the dried Gigantes beans overnight (use at least a 3:1 ratio of water to beans).

=Rinse and add rehydrated beans to a generous pot of boiling water and cook for 45
minutes over a medium heat, until the beans are soft. Using a large spoon, periodically skim away any surface foam that may develop.

=In a large sized skillet/pan, fry off the bacon until cooked but not completely crisped, then remove the bacon from pan but retain the fat. Cut the bacon into thin strips and set aside.

=Add the diced onion to the pan with the bacon fat and sauté until soft.

=Press and add garlic to the pan along with two tablespoonfuls of olive oil; stir for a few turns and then add the diced red pepper for several turns/tosses. Season with oregano, salt and pepper to taste.

=Stir in the tomato sauce along with 1 cup of water and half the bacon strips along with the chopped parsley and boukovo, bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and let simmer for 18 – 20 minutes.
=Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C and place an earthenware/stoneware/clay baking vessel in the oven to warm. (I prefer to use a Pampered Chef ® square stoneware baking dish).

=When the beans are cooked , drain them and add them to the pan with the sauce to combine.

=Take the heated vessel out of the oven, add the beans to it, pour the remaining olive oil over top and return to oven. Bake for 40 minutes.

Greek Food: Fasolada



For Greeks, the 40 day pre-Easter Lenten fast means beans have been quite common over the last little while, which means we are eagerly looking forward to the Paschal lamb this coming Easter Sunday. So, I will wish you all a Happy Easter  As a bonus, I will share with you what went into my last bowl of for quite some time to come.

This is my own version of the rustic bean soup which is a Lenten friendly dish and makes for a hearty vegan meal.


Ingredients:



=1 lb dried haricot (white kidney) beans
=2 medium sized carrots, sliced into discs
=2 medium cooking onions, diced
=2 stalks of celery, sliced thin
=1 cup tomato sauce (i.e. pommodoro) or 3 finely diced tomatoes.
=1 medium sized parsnip, quartered and thinly sliced
=1 tbsp. dried rosemary
=1 tbsp. dried thyme
=3 bay leaves
=¼ cup of olive oil
=4 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
=4 - 6 garlic cloves, whole or halved
=Salt and pepper

 Preparation:

=Soak beans overnight in roughly three times their volume of water.

=Dump beans into a colander and rinse well before use.

=Put 3 quarts of water in a pot, add the beans and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim away surface foam as it develop. Boil beans for 16 minutes, continuing to skim away surface foam using a wooden spoon. At the 16 minute mark, skim off the last bit of foam and dump the pot’s content into a colander to strain and rinse the beans. Also rinse the pot well.

=Put another 3 quarts of fresh water in the pot, bring it to a boil and add the beans. After 5 minutes, skim any remaining surface foam that may develop, and then add all of the remaining ingredients into the pot. Stir the contents of the pot well and when it has resumed boiling, cover the pot with its lid slightly ajar and let it simmer over low heat for 2 hours. Stir occasionally and check to ensure ample liquid in the pot to keep the beans from sticking to the bottom. Though it is technically a soup, you do not want a very runny fassoulada, nor do you want one that is thick and gooey, so monitor the water content of the pot and add a cup or so if necessary.

Greek Food: Prasorizo - Leeks and Rice



The fresh green onions and garlic are excellent complements to the leeks in this dish as they are all part of the genus Allium. This dish is vegan and fast-friendly.
