I make it at least every other week, now. I'll never be able to go for the canned variety again. This is one of my favorite meals, now! Thank you very much for this recipe!

It looks like she used a pressure cooker and that is why she only boiled the beans for 5 min. The beans must be boiled for one hour after soaking overnight. Love this recipe. What a wonderful video!

It made things very simple. I watched the video twice and wrote everything down. I am sorry to say that I will not tell my wife where I got the recipe from instead I will say to her that this is an ancient Greek recipe. Evan a.k.a. Vaggelis Thanks for the video.

Hopefully this will work better! i was really excited when i found this recipe- the only one i could find where the beans didn’t need a lot of boiling first thus making it simpler…. however, i followed the recipe but the beans were still rock hard after an hour! we ended up leaving them over 2 hours in the oven and even then lots were still not edible. the sauce was delicious though and the ones that were cooked were amazing! i am trying it again today but i have boiled my beans for about 40 minutes.
