GREEK STEWED GREEN BEANS AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH TOMATOES



Greek Stewed Green Beans and Yellow Squash With Tomatoes image

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.
