Butter Beans Saganaki

These butter beans saganaki are the kind of comfort food that feels hearty but still fresh and wholesome. Creamy butter beans are simmered in a rich, garlicky tomato sauce, then finished with salty feta, a hit of chilli, and plenty of fresh herbs. It’s a Greek-inspired dish (kind of like prawns saganaki) that’s simple to make but packed with flavour—perfect for scooping up with crusty bread or serving over rice. Whether you’re after a meat-free main or a side dish that steals the show, this one is a keeper.

Step 2
Add crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, dried oregano, honey and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 30 seconds to a minute, stirring through. Add diced canned tomatoes and season with another ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir and simmer (uncovered) for 8-10 minutes until some liquid evaporates and the tomato sauce thickens a bit.

Step 3
Fold in the butter beans and olives, then add a few sprigs of dill. Top with crumbled feta and place the skillet under the hot broiler (grill in the oven) for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts and browns slightly. This step is optional as the beans are technically ready to eat and you can serve with feta without grilling the top.
