This delicious and comforting Greek baked butter bean dish, packed with earthy herbs, chard, and a touch of sweetness from honey and cinnamon, will make a satisfying addition to your table. Perfect for making large batches and letting the flavors marry for a more flavorful dish the next day.
In a large ovenproof frying pan or casserole, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the thinly sliced red onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Add the chard and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
5
Stir in the butter beans, chopped tomatoes, honey, red chilli, ground cinnamon, and dried oregano, mixing well to combine.
6
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the edges are brown and the flavors intensify. If you don't have an ovenproof frying pan or casserole, transfer the mixture to a baking dish before baking.
