Black eyed beans with fennel
By George Makraki- of the awarded traditional guesthouse Milia, Chania.
Ingredients
500 gr black eyed beans
1 1/2 cup fine olive oil
3 chopped onions
2 or 3 large bunches fennel (preferably wild)
Be careful not to use only a small amount of fennel, because when you cook it will be lost.
1 bunch anise
Juice of two tomatoes and a little tomato paste
2 carrots cut into slices
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
How to prepare
Boil the beans in a “traditional pot” with a little olive oil for 20 minutes.
We strain our beans.
After we get a shallow traditional pot “tsikali” add olive oil and let it “burn.”
Lightly sauté the onions and add the beans and stir with a wooden spoon for three to five minutes.
Add the fennel and stir again leaving to a boil. Finally add the tomatoes, tomato paste, carrots and our spices and “bake” at moderate temperature
Once the beans are ready – caution, they have to be crispy – remove from fire.
Allow to cool slightly and serve.
Wonderful aromas of Nature!
