Method

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Soften the diced carrot and celery in the olive oil in a 12-inch (30 cm) ovenproof pan 5 minutes; add the garlic and tomato paste 1 minute, until dark.
  2. Add the canned tomatoes, broth, oregano and rinsed butter beans; bring to a simmer.
  3. Bake uncovered 25 minutes, until the sauce is thick and the top beans are golden.
  4. Scatter the dill and crumbled feta; serve with the yogurt. Keeps four days, freezes three months.
Chef’s tipNo butter beans: cannellini, the biggest you can find.
