About Giant beans red sauce

Giant Beans in Red Sauce is a classic dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly popular in Greek cooking. This flavorful dish is made with large butter beans (also called lima beans), simmered to perfection in a rich tomato-based sauce infused with garlic, onion, olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs like oregano and parsley. High in protein and fiber, the beans support digestion and satiety, while olive oil delivers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Tomatoes provide a boost of antioxidants like lycopene, which support skin health and immunity. It's vegetarian and can be vegan depending on preparation, making it a versatile choice for various diets. However, it may contain added salt and oil, which should be monitored for those on low-sodium or low-fat diets. Perfect as a main course or side dish, this wholesome meal embodies the healthful simplicity of the Mediterranean diet.
