Method
step 1
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 mins, until beginning to soften and the edges are turning golden. Mix in the garlic, oregano and tomato purée. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring, until the purée turns dark red.
step 2
Mix in the tomatoes, stock and sugar. Swill the can out with a splash of water, then pour into the pan as well. Leave it simmer away for 10-12 mins over a low-medium heat, then mix in the beans. Stir well, then leave to simmer for 2-3 mins before seasoning to taste with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice. Serve with the feta and dill scattered over the top, with toasted sourdough on the side.
