Gigante beans are Greek giant white beans with a delicious creamy texture. In this recipe, I marinate them in olive oil with sun-dried tomatoes, lemon, and herbs to infuse them with tangy, savory flavor. 

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked gigante beans, drained and rinsed

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, preferably oil-packed
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon sea salt
Pinch red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

In a large bowl, stir together the cooked gigante beans, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon zest, salt, red pepper flakes, and several grinds of pepper. Add more olive oil as needed to coat the beans well.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and preferably overnight. Season to taste and serve.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
