Greek-style gigantes beans with greens
This vegan dish is jam-packed with the good stuff and the ideal mid-week meal to feed a hungry triathlete
Good nourishment not only provides benefits such as improved health – gut health, digestion, immune function – but also improved mental wellbeing and mood, family unity and better sleep. And this recipe does all that and then some.
I really do defy anyone not to love these Greek-style gigantes beans with greens – or gigantic beans!
A vegan dish, this is a good source of carbs, protein, manganese, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, fibre and antioxidants. Serve on a slice of garlicky sourdough toast for posh beans on toast!
Boost the protein
Add chunks of chorizo sausage at step 1, just before you add the beans.
