Even though we can’t travel at the moment, we can still bring some amazing holiday cuisine to our own kitchen table!
BBC Good Food’s gorgeous Greek recipe by Dr Rupy Aujla has all the comfort of a warm dish, but with the fragrant and luscious appeal of a little Greek restaurant recipe, served to us on a cobbled street with a view of the sea.
This fresh and spicy Greek-style beans recipe is hearty and healthy, bursting with flavours and goodness. Super simple, it’s a great one for when you haven’t had time to do a shop, and all that’s left is the dregs of the cupboard. Ready in just thirty minutes too!
