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 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.

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.
