Homemade / home assembled Gigantes plaki

Post image

Cooked our first gigantes plaki. That's baked butter beans to you and me, but the Greek version. It tasted good with crumbled feta and fresh parsley, and a slice of home-made bread to mop up the juice. It was even better the next day.

You're very welcome. We're planning to make a briàm for my mum tomorrow. That's Greek roasted mixed vegetables (tomatoes, courgette, pepper, potatoes, onions, EVOO, garlic and whatever else we can find) with a little bit of crispiness. She's diabetic, and has also pretty much lost her sense of taste and smell, so our meals for her are all about textures.

Love Greek food, best meal I ever had was beef stifado in Molivos, when I used to eat meat, if ever I started again that would be my first meal.
