Fasolakia Ladera Green Beans Stew Recipes

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:

• If using fresh beans cut off the tips on both ends and if necessary remove strings along the edges.
• Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onions and garlic until softened.
• Add the beans and fold gently a few times until beans soften up a bit.
• Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper & paprika and 300 ml of boiling water, bring to the boil and simmer for half an hour.
• Add potatoes and make sure they are just covered in the water. (Add more boiling water if necessary). Cover pan and simmer for 1-1½ hours or until potatoes are very soft.
• Turn heat off and stir in the cinnamon. DO NOT ommit the cinnamon. This is what makes this dish really special.
• Garnish with parsley (optional) and serve with fresh bread and feta cheese.
• Can also be eaten cold.
