This Greek side dish features beans in a robust tomato sauce. The traditional recipe takes hours to make. Ours? Less than 35 minutes. And it all comes together in just one skillet for easy cleanup. Canned butter beans are the secret to the ease and speed of this delicious side dish. Finely chopping the celery and carrots ensures that they mix well with the other ingredients for best flavor. Pair this side dish with baked chicken or pork chops. If you'd like, add a creamy touch with crumbled feta.
