Butter bean and dill bake with vegan feta

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin half-moons. Crush the garlic, and drain and rinse the butter beans.
  2. In a deep roasting tin, about 30 x 20 cm, mix the onion, carrot, garlic, beans, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, oregano, cinnamon, 1 tbsp of the olive oil and 100 ml water. Season well with salt and black pepper.
  3. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then take the tin out and stir well.
  4. Return it to the oven for another 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once more halfway, until the sauce is thick and jammy and the beans on top have darkened slightly.
  5. Chop most of the dill. Stir half of it through the beans, adding a splash of water if the bake looks dry.
  6. Crumble the vegan feta over the top, drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and scatter over the rest of the dill.
  7. Serve hot from the tin, spooning the tomato sauce over the beans.

Tip The cinnamon is a small amount and should stay in the background. If you have no dill, fresh parsley will do.
