  1. Boil a kettle. Dice the sweet potato into 1cm cubes. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the potato and a good pinch of sea salt and cook for 5-6 mins until golden.
  2. Finely dice the onion and add it to the pan, cook for 3 mins. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans and halve the tomatoes. Add the paprika to the pan, cook for 30 seconds, then add the passata, tomatoes, ketchup, cannellini beans and 350ml hot water. Simmer for 12-15 mins until the potato is soft and the sauce has thickened. Add more water if necessary.
  3. Zest and quarter the lime and roughly chop or crush the pistachios. Trim the green beans and place in a large saucepan on high heat and cover with salted boiling water. Boil for 2-3 mins, until cooked. Drain, then season with sea salt and black pepper and toss with the pistachios, 2 tsp olive oil, lime zest and half the juice.
  4. Roughly chop the dill. In a small bowl mix the yoghurt with the pestorissa, yoghurt, half the dill, remaining lime juice and a good pinch of sea salt.
  5. Season with 'baked' beans with sea salt and black pepper to taste, then serve them in bowls and top with the green beans and yoghurt. Sprinkle over remaining dill.
