MOM'S GREEK STRING BEANS

My favorite green beans! My Greek mother and grandmother made these with roast lamb since I can remember. It's surprising how just four ingredients can taste so Greek! added my picture where I used a pound of frozen French sliced green beans and diced tomatoes.

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 GREEN BEANS

Thanks to LonghornMoma I'm posting this for all to try. A super easy & yummy way to make green beans. A twist on my Greek spinach. Hope you all enjoy! Can be made ahead. Serves 4 of us (but we like it a lot, lol) more like 6-8. Easily doubled. Time is a guess--start to finish is maybe 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

  • Cook your green beans fresh or frozen. If using canned skip this.
  • Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan, add the onions.
  • Cook until soft about 5 minutes on low.
  • Add everything but feta. If using canned green beans add now.
  • Simmer on low until hot.
  • Add feta.
  • I've done this in the oven in a casserole dish, and in a foil packet on the grill. You're basically just heating everything through.

29 ounces canned green beans, drained or 1 (16 ounce) package frozen green beans, cooked per pkg
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can of diced Italian tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup fine chopped red onions or 1/2 cup any onion
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (or more)
