Fasolada

This is how it's served in Greece. If you'd like to add a little lamb see the other entry. Either way this is a great staple meal, I use to eat it (vegetarian style) for breakfast in a taverna near the dock in Elefsina outside Athens for breakfast. It was always served with a good crusty fresh baked bread.

This is one of those dishes that's actually better the next day than it is the day it's cooked. Great winter slow cooker meal.

2 Cans 15.5oz Butter Beans (large)
.5 cup diced carrot
.5 cup diced onion
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup water
Spices to taste: always oregano, but regionally Greeks use dill, parsley, coriander,

Cook 2-3 hours in a slow cooker, serve with crusty bread.
