Ingredients

2 lb fresh green beans (, topped and tailed (or use frozen))
1 large onion (, chopped)
2 large potatoes (, peeled and cut into 6)
2 cloves garlic (, chopped)
5 tomatoes (, peeled, de-seeded, and chopped)
½ teaspoon sugar
1 bunch parsley (, chopped)
1 tablespoon chopped dill
2 fresh mint leaves (, chopped)
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Hot water

Steps:

Heat a little more than half of the oil in a pan and sauté the potatoes, garlic and onion for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly.
Add the green beans, tomatoes, sugar and about 1¼ cup (300 ml) of water or just enough water to barely cover the green beans. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook over medium to high heat for 15 minutes.
Reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes over low to medium heat, until the green beans are tender.
Uncover and add the parsley, dill, mint and remaining olive oil. Mix and cook for 3 minutes.
At the end of cooking, if there is too much liquid, increase the heat for a few minutes and reduce the sauce, stirring gently so as not to crush the green beans and potatoes.
Serve with bread and feta cheese on the side.

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.

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch white sugar

Steps:

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.

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.
