FASSOLAKIA FRESKA ME DOMATA - GREEK GREEN BEANS & TOMATO
This is a recipe for delicious green beans & tomato, cooked the traditional Greek way. Fresh green beans, tomatoes, herbs and spices are simmered together long enough for the tastes to meld. Recipe by Nancy Gaifyllia, she says "This Theban version of a classic Greek recipe is deceptively simple to fix, combining fresh green beans with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and parsley, and delivers a sophisticated taste. It can be served as a main dish, or as a side. " Posted for ZWT 4.

Steps:
- Wash the beans, cut off the tips and remove the stringy piece of fiber along the seam. Rinse the beans.
- In a soup pot, sauté the onions in olive oil with a wooden spoon until they turn translucent.
- Stir in the garlic and sauté a few minutes more. Add all the remaining ingredients and the water. Stir well, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 50 minutes or until the beans are tender. (Add more water if needed during cooking - boiling water.).
- Serve warm. On the side, consider tzatziki or feta cheese, and certainly some great country bread.
- Note: This serves 4 as a main dish, 6-8 as a side. For a more substantial dish, add 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks.

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.

Steps:
- Wash and string the beans, but leave them whole.
- In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil until hot.
- Add the onion and saute for about 5 minutes until it is tender, but not brown.
- Add the green beans.
- Cover the skillet.
- Cook for about 15 minutes or until the beans start to wilt.
- Coarsely chop two of the tomatoes (ONLY TWO).
- Add to the pan and cover again.
- Cook for another 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes have melted into a sauce.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
- If necessary add another one or two chopped tomatoes and continue cooking.
- You may need to add extra olive oil also as it contributes to the flavor.
- Cook until the beans are very tender.
- Trust me, crunchy does NOT work with this dish.
- Serve hot, cold, or at room temperature (the way Greeks do).
- If you can find good, creamy feta, crumble a good chunk into the beans before serving.
