About

BEANS boiled until tender and then baked in the oven in a rich tomato sauce are a traditional dish of northern Greece. The orange peel and juice make this version special, adding a fresh fruity taste and aroma to the hearty beans. Oranges and tangerines of exceptional quality are grown on Chios and inspired local chef Stefanos Kovas to create the dish. He serves it at Loukoumi, his lively ouzo bar in the heart of Chios Town.
