Water
1 lb green beans, trimmed

Greek Green Beans (Fasolakia) image

All-star recipe for Greek Green Beans. Velvety, tender green beans & potatoes, braised in a tomato-olive oil sauce. Flavor-packed, satisfying, vegan, and gluten-free.

Provided by The Mediterranean Dish

Categories     Entree

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

Greek extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp dried oregano
1 28-oz can peeled whole tomato
1 cup water
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 lb fresh French green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (frozen green beans work wonderfully in this recipe)
3 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 lb), cut into small piece (1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces)
Salt and black pepper
lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • 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.)
  • Remove from oven and stir in 2 tbsp lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Stir in a generous drizzle of olive oil (at least another 1/4 cup).
  • Serve immediately with Greek pita bread or your favorite rustic bread to sop up the sauce!

FASOLAKIA (GREEK GREEN BEANS)



Fasolakia (Greek Green Beans) image

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.

Tips:

  • Prepare Ingredients Ahead: Wash and trim the green beans, chop the tomatoes and onions, and mince the garlic in advance to save time during cooking.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh green beans, tomatoes, and onions offer the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh produce, frozen or canned vegetables can be used as a backup.
