Ken looks like he could have worked for the Sopranos....teaching those Italians what REAL food is. Bravo, Ken!

[@dallasguidroz9350]

Iam making a bunch now. And then going to freeze the rest for my batch cooking. I could eat this every day honestly!

[@georgeringopauljohn]

I think Yours is the original recipe, my auntie cooked these beans this way , and she was from Greece. Thank you .

[@NaCreagachaDubha]

I panicked when I saw the amount of oil but they look gorgeous. Thanks Ken!

[@markusmuller6173]

Thanks for showing the traditional way ! :)

I love these beans, hot or cold, they're the best beans ever! Now I can make them myself, thank you! 👍😊

[@KensGreekTable]

👍👍👍

[@sokkie4life]

I also add parsley, dill and lemon.. comes out so good!

[@remote44]

You are awesome buddy! I soaked the beans and realized I had no idea how to cook them. Trying them out now but I know it's gonna work out great with your guidance. Awesome stuff

[@passionateherbs8183]

I haven't made this since 2021!! I having been craving it for a week now. I will be making it soon! 1 lb Giant Beans (soak in water for 24 hours) 1-1/4 cup Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 Onions 2 Carrots 2 Celery Stalks 2 Cloves of Garlic 2 TBSP Tomato Paste 14 oz Diced Tomatoes Water as required Salt & Pepper to taste Set Oven at 375 Degrees Chop vegetables and put in pan with tomato paste and put in the oven for 15 minutes. Take vegetables out of the oven and add beans, diced tomatoes, pepper, (add salt at the end), mix. Add olive oil and slowly stir the mixture. Bake for 1 hour, but check at 30 minutes to be sure it has enough liquid in it. (He doesn't say so in the video, but I am assuming that is what the water is for in case it appears dry at the 30 minute mark.) Also when you check it at 30 minutes stir it.

Alexander did not invade most of the middle east for power, in fact he was searching for the his chef who failed to put Oregano in his Baked Beans. Finally after attempting to invade India, Alexander found the chef and stopped the invasions. But before Alexander could put the chef to death, the chef poisoned Alexander. This whole tragedy could have been avoided if only the chef had put Oregano in the Baked Beans.

Can you use butter beans? I have fork hook beans that are giant butter beans. I bet it will work they are good in everything.

[@kathyj1391]

I've used Fordhook lima beans and it's delicious. I've even done it on the stove top without baking. I use frozen Picksweet Fordhook Lima Beans. I've done it 2 Thanksgiving in a row and going to do it again this year.

[@PamelaJacksonPamsuesings4u]

Yum!

What is the song playing in the background during the recipe? It’s amazing

[@Altaykaan1]

Plaki is mine favoriet as mezze by The Greek ouzo or the Turkish rakı

[@stephz0r93]

[@KensGreekTable]

👍👍👍

[@gtangari]

Can I ask you please the name of the song you used just before you started to talk in this video? thanks in advance!

[@rhondabrown240]

I would like to know the name of the beans that you start with and where to buy them

[@catherine8873]

Is this bean like a Lima bean?

[@pennyk1943]

Yes they are Lima beans

[@gedhuffadine1873]

Can you use canned butted beans and skip to soaking

[@aysheafarag]

Are they butter beans?

[@selwonkmada]

Hi 👋😷 Are the beans you used fresh or dried ? Thanks dude x

[@KensGreekTable]

I use both depending on what I have Adam. Canned beans are much less work....

[@selwonkmada]

@@KensGreekTable So I assume that you don’t have to soak the fresh beans then ?

[@jamesbolton1805]

Ken didn’t see you add the salt towards the end of baking sorry

[@rev.santakevin3848]

Ken I need some of your olive oil and oregano ..how much?

[@KensGreekTable]

Thanks very much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Follow this link to check things out: kensgreektable.com/collections

[@annmagoulas7034]

Ooh Ooh love it but I'm gonna get the beans out of a tin I now its cheating but if I don't cook beans right ant thay poisonous I will do for Sunday with me beef lolxx

[@KensGreekTable]

Thanks Ann…. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@katerinavantasi3318]

Why you did not add water?

[@genemartinez2833]

Similar recipes have people boil the beans for up to an hour before baking. As long as the beans have been soaked for 24 hours and you don’t add salt to the end, is it really okay not to boil them first? How much baking time at 375F without boiling them?

[@sokkie4life]

At least an hour and a half.. and put enough water in the pan because it’ll evaporate

[@patrickhanna9230]

Yum...I'd eat the sh*t out of this! ❤

[@KensGreekTable]

Haha me too!!!!

[@tullysika]

No herbs?

[@KensGreekTable]

Malcolm Robertson parsley

[@tullysika]

@@KensGreekTable no garlic or oregano

[@martinkolb4367]

Its BEAN about 15 minutes 😅

[@KensGreekTable]

👍👍👍

[@filipbunches]

You forgot to add the salt....🙄

[@KensGreekTable]

Haha thank you for pointing that out. Actually, I did add the salt. They probably edited it out 😂😂😂 But thanks for paying attention... 😂👍🙏🏼✌️💪🙌👏

Would you please lower the music thanks

[@stergostsangarinos6761]

I think you should cut down on the unnecessary blah blah and focus on the process. I also missed the salt part
