GREEKIFIED GREEN BEANS

Adapted from a recipe found on the website TheKitchn. With some rearranging you could make this as a cold salad in the hot summer months. In addition, the green beans could be outdoor grilled in summer as well, as a suggestion! Lastly, a portion of the green beans can be replaced with wax beans (yellow green beans) when they are...

Steps:

1. Prep the green beans, onion and garlic.
2. Heat a little olive oil in a heavy duty pan and gently sautè the green beans, onion, garlic and cinnamon stick over medium heat for about five minutes, or until onion and garlic soften and green beans are lightly browned.
3. Add the wine to the pan. Bring to a boil and reduce by half.
4. Stir in the tomatoes and bell pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
5. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until liquid has mostly evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. A garnish of fresh herb: sage, parsley, oregano, marjoram, or basil would not be out of place.

Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed, cut in half or thirds depending on size (although good quality frozen green beans will work!)
olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and diced small or minced
1 small cinnamon stick (ground cinnamon can sub)
2/3 c white wine
2 medium fresh tomatoes, diced (heirloom would be perfect/good quality {fire roasted} canned toms in the off season)
1/2 medium bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
salt, to taste
fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
lemon wedges, for garnish

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.

GREEK STEWED GREEN BEANS AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH TOMATOES

Green beans are one of many vegetables that both Greek and Turkish cooks stew with abundant olive oil in dishes known as ladera. This recipe is inspired by one of them, but it's a far cry from the authentic version, which requires three times as much oil and simmers for a longer time. Don't be put off by the faded color of the beans; they're comforting and delicious.

Greek Stewed Green Beans and Yellow Squash With Tomatoes image

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a wide, covered skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the green beans, squash and remaining oil. Stir together for a few minutes, then add the tomatoes and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then add salt and freshly ground pepper.
Cover and simmer 30 minutes until the beans are tender and the mixture is stew-like. Add the herbs, and simmer for another five to 10 minutes. Add lemon juice if desired. Taste, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.

In a large Dutch Oven, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, stirring occasionally (about 5 mins). Then add the garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook another 2 mins, stirring regularly, until fragrant.
Add tomatoes, water, bay leaf, beans, and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a high simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover and transfer to the heated oven. Cook until the sauce slightly thickens, and the beans and potatoes can easily be cut with side of your fork; about 35 minutes or so. (It's a good idea to check once partway through cooking, add a little bit of water if needed.)
