Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lima Beans

    If using dried lima beans, soak them overnight in water. Drain and rinse before cooking. If using canned, simply drain and rinse them.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Eggplant and Peppers

    Add the diced eggplant and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the eggplant starts to soften.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Zucchini and Lima Beans

    Stir in the zucchini and prepared lima beans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices. Stir in the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the flavors meld.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Add Feta Cheese

    Once the mixture is well combined and the vegetables are tender, sprinkle the feta cheese on top. Allow it to melt slightly.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Greek Lima Beans warm or at room temperature.
