Greek Beans

Greek beans are one of my favorite things to make for a busy night.  You start it early, and it's very easy and yummy!

Greek Beans

Put 5 cups dried white beans in a large pot.  Cast iron is the best!
Cover with water.
Add:
3 carrots, chopped
4 celery sticks, chopped
4 tsp freshly chopped onion (or more)
1 Tbsp dried oregano

Bring to a boil, and lower heat to a simmer.  Simmer until the beans are soft.  This may take an hour or so.

When beans are soft and almost all of the water has been absorbed, stir in:
6 Tbsp red palm oil
3 tsp salt (to taste)
1/2 tsp paprika
and 1/2 tsp pepper

Serve in bowls with hearty, crusty bread.

After you try the recipe this way, try it again with spices your family loves!  Tell me what you think if you do try it!

Where do you find red palm oil? I have never heard of it. The recipe sounds great.
