Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F with the rack in the centre.
2. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1/8 cup olive oil until it shimmers. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic with a pinch of salt (about 1/4 teaspoon). Cook, stirring often, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Add the diced tomatoes with their juices and the 6 Tablespoons water, plus another pinch of salt (about 1/4 teaspoon). Stir in the parsley, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cinnamon and bay leaf.
4. Stir in the butter beans and cook over high heat for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then move the pan to the oven and bake until thickened and the top turns light golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of parsley and a generous sprinkle of feta, and serve with rustic bread.
