FASOLAKIA YIAHNI (GREEN BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE)



Fasolakia Yiahni (Green Beans in Tomato Sauce) image

One of the absolute classics of Greek summer, but also delicious year-round, green beans yiahni are an easy, luscious casserole of fresh beans slowly cooked in olive oil, with tomatoes, onions, potatoes and herbs. All you need is a chunk of feta and a bit of good bread to complete this wonderful vegetarian main course.

Provided by Diane Kochilas

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds / 1 kilo fresh green beans
½ c olive oil (divided)
2 large red onions (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 large potatoes (peeled and cut into 1 ½ - 2-inch?4 - 5-cm cubes)
2 1/2 cups canned whole Santorini or other Greek tomatoes
1 whole chili pepper (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Feta cheese and good bread for serving

Steps:

  • Wash and drain the beans. Using a paring knife, snap or cut off the tips and remove any stringy fiber along the seams.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, warm half the olive oil and cook the onion until translucent. Stir in the garlic. Add the green beans, and toss to coat in the oil. Add the potatoes, chili pepper, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add enough water to come about a third of the way up the contents of the pot.
  • Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Right before removing from the heat, stir in the parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.
  • Add the remaining olive oil.
  • Serve with feta and good bread.

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.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup olive oil
1 small onion, grated
1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
4 tomatoes, pureed
2 yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch white sugar
water to cover

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.
