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.

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.

MIXED BEAN AND WINTER SQUASH STEW WITH FRESH BASIL
I usually use a combination of white and red or borlotti beans for this stew. The fresh or frozen limas add a pale green, fresh bean to the mix. Soaking the beans is not absolutely necessary, but I find that they cook more evenly and have a more uniform, pillowy texture if I do.

Steps:
- Drain the beans through a strainer set over a bowl. Transfer to a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven. Measure the liquid in the bowl and add enough water to measure 2 quarts. Add to the beans and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste and the bouquet garni, and continue to simmer until tender but intact, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy frying pan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, and add the paprika. Stir together for about a minute, and add the garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for a minute or two, until the garlic and onions are very fragrant, and stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes are cooked down and fragrant, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add a ladleful of broth from the beans and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
- Stir the onion mixture into the beans. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the winter squash and lima beans. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the squash and all the beans are tender. Taste and adjust salt, and add freshly ground pepper. Remove the bouquet garni. Just before serving stir in the fresh basil. Serve in wide soup bowls, passing Parmesan for sprinkling.

STEWED GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES WITH TRAHANA
The stewed green beans with tomatoes are typical of many Greek "olive oil dishes," or "ladera," though my version has about a quarter of the olive oil used in a traditional dish. I have bulked it up by adding trahana to the mix, which turns it into a stew that is suitable as a main dish. It is delicious hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide, covered skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, sugar and salt to taste and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down slightly, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and remaining oil and stir together for a minute, then add about 1 1/2 cups water, or enough to just cover the beans. Bring to a simmer, add more salt to taste, cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, until beans are very tender.
- Check water level and if necessary add water so that beans are covered. When it begins to simmer, stir in trahana and half the herbs. Cover and simmer, stirring often, until trahana is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in remaining herbs, add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Add lemon juice and more olive oil if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature (traditionally this is allowed to cool and served at room temperature).

STEWED PEPPERS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND GARLIC
There are variations of this dish throughout the Mediterranean. The Basque piperade, made with slender, slightly piquant peppers called piments d'espelette and stirred into scrambled eggs along with bayonne ham, has some heat; whereas Italian peperonata is sweet through and through. A North African version, chakchouka, is spiced with fiery harissa and a spice blend made with caraway and coriander, cayenne and garlic, and is usually served with eggs poached right on top of the stew. See the variations below.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or heavy casserole over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic and peppers. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- Add the tomatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper, bring to a simmer, and simmer, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat, about 10 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for another 15 to 20 minutes (or longer), stirring from time to time, until the mixture is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve as a side dish, as a topping for pizza, pasta, polenta, rice, or bruschetta, as a filling for an omelet, or stir into scrambled eggs.
