Fasolakia Recipes

FASOLAKIA (GREEK GREEN BEANS)

Fasolakia are Greek green beans stewed with olive oil and tomato, with a few pieces of potato added for good measure. This is a main dish in Greece, not a side dish, and a prime example of plant-based eating! Good crusty bread is essential for mopping up the sauce and I always need to have a healthy chunk of feta on the side. Serve fasolakia warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir in onion. Cook until onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and stir to coat in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pureed tomato, potatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well, then add water until beans are barely covered.
Bring to a simmer, partially cover with a lid, and cook gently over medium-low heat until green beans and potatoes are soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover towards the end of cooking to reduce sauce if it is too watery.

Steps:

1. In a heavy dutch oven, heat 1/2 cup oil on high, add the onions and saute for about 5 minutes. 2. Add the garlic, peppercorns, and half the parsley, and saute for another 5 minutes. 3. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 min. 4. Stir the potatoes into the sauce. 5. Layer the green beans on top. Do not stir them in. 6. Sprinkle with remaining parsley. Do not stir them in. 7. Cover and simmer vigorously for approximately 1 hour. Check every 15 minutes to make sure the sauce is not sticking and that the liquid comes up to approximately the middle of the green bean layer. Add water as needed. Stir only if sticking is a problem - or turn down heat and cook longer.

1/2 cup olive oil
1 pound onions, sliced

To prepare this traditional Greek green beans recipe, start by washing thoroughly the green beans. Drain them in a colander and set aside.
Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until transculent and tender. Stir in the garlic, the grated tomatoes, the rest of the olive oil and a pinch of sugar and bring to the boil. The traditional recipe for Greek green beans calls for fresh ripe tomatoes, but if you like you can substitute with canned chopped tomatoes, or Passata tomato juice.
Add the green beans and blend well, so that the green beans are coated with the olive oil and the tomatoes. Turn the heat down, cover with the lid and simmer for 40- 45 minutes, until the beans are soft and most the juices have evaporated. During cooking, check out if the pan appears to be getting dry and add a little bit hot water if needed.
