I love Gigantes so much, so hard to come by in Ireland but found dried in UK recently. They really are the king of beans. I will try your recipe this week. I made them in a tomato sauce at the weekend and served with potato and Jerusalem artichoke mash with a bit of smoke tofu alongside and broccoli greens - magic. Thank you.
I cant tell you how happy i am to have found you! I came across these beautiful humongous beans both red and white and had no idea where they came from, i just said they taste like cheese, so for thanks giving i will make this wonderful dish. Mine are not even dry, so i dont have to rehydrate them because they were freshly picked. I was so excited at the enormous size, which i had never seen before, i was thinking whats the best way to prepare these beans. I will blend the white & purple and do it your way. Thanks for the recipe.
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
Ken, I have been obsessing on this video/recipe for weeks now! I haven't been able to find the beans in any local stores, so I ordered them online... and today, I am making them! EXCITEMENT!!! Thank you so much for sharing your video!
i grew these bean this summer in the uk.. i love them and this recipe is a stunning way to have them.. top recipe ken and well presented, hats off to you sir..
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.
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.
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.
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
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?

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.

Is this bean like a Lima bean?
Yes they are Lima beans
Can you use canned butted beans and skip to soaking
Hi 👋😷
Are the beans you used fresh or dried ?
Thanks dude x
I use both depending on what I have Adam. Canned beans are much less work....
@@KensGreekTable So I assume that you don’t have to soak the fresh beans then ?
Are they butter beans?
Yum...I'd eat the sh*t out of this! ❤
Haha me too!!!!
Ken I need some of your olive oil and oregano ..how much?
Thanks very much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Follow this link to check things out:

Why you did not add water?
Looks great, but he never shows at which point to add salt
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?
At least an hour and a half.. and put enough water in the pan because it’ll evaporate
Ken didn’t see you add the salt towards the end of baking sorry
Would you please lower the music thanks
No herbs?
Malcolm Robertson parsley
@@KensGreekTable no garlic or oregano
Its BEAN about 15 minutes 😅
👍👍👍

You forgot to add the salt....🙄
Haha thank you for pointing that out. Actually, I did add the salt. They probably edited it out 😂😂😂 But thanks for paying attention... 😂👍🙏🏼✌️💪🙌👏
I think you should cut down on the unnecessary blah blah and focus on the process. I also missed the salt part
