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 (Sketa Fassoula) image

Steps:

  • Wash and string the beans, but leave them whole.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil until hot.
  • Add the onion and saute for about 5 minutes until it is tender, but not brown.
  • Add the green beans.
  • Cover the skillet.
  • Cook for about 15 minutes or until the beans start to wilt.
  • Coarsely chop two of the tomatoes (ONLY TWO).
  • Add to the pan and cover again.
  • Cook for another 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes have melted into a sauce.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
  • If necessary add another one or two chopped tomatoes and continue cooking.
  • You may need to add extra olive oil also as it contributes to the flavor.
  • Cook until the beans are very tender.
  • Trust me, crunchy does NOT work with this dish.
  • Serve hot, cold, or at room temperature (the way Greeks do).
  • If you can find good, creamy feta, crumble a good chunk into the beans before serving.

1 lb green beans (thin,tender ones are best)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped finely
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
3 -4 medium tomatoes
salt and pepper

  • 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.
