Provided by The Mediterranean Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Water
1 lb green beans, trimmed
Salt and pepper, to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional, to taste
Quality crumbled feta cheese, to taste
2 tbsp (or more to your liking) pitted olives, chopped
2 tbsp Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
1/2 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, fresh dill, Spanish paprika, pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside for now.
  • Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil. Add green beans. Cook for 5 minutes, then, keep the pot of boiling water going, but using tongs, transfer green beans to an ice bath (a bowl of ice and ice cold water) for 5 minutes. Return beans to boiling water to finish cooking until tender, about 10 more minutes or so. Drain well.
  • Transfer warm beans to a mixing bowl. Toss with a little salt and pepper. Give the dressing a quick stir to combine well, then pour over the green beans. Toss again to coat.
  • Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle crushed pepper flakes and crumbled feta. Top with chopped olives. Serve at room temperature.

Provided by The Mediterranean Dish

Categories     Entree

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

Greek extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp dried oregano
1 28-oz can peeled whole tomato
1 cup water
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 lb fresh French green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (frozen green beans work wonderfully in this recipe)
3 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 lb), cut into small piece (1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces)
Salt and black pepper
lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a large Dutch Oven, heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, stirring occasionally (about 5 mins). Then add the garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook another 2 mins, stirring regularly, until fragrant.
  • Add tomatoes, water, bay leaf, beans, and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a high simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cover and transfer to the heated oven. Cook until the sauce slightly thickens, and the beans and potatoes can easily be cut with side of your fork; about 35 minutes or so. (It's a good idea to check once partway through cooking, add a little bit of water if needed.)
  • Remove from oven and stir in 2 tbsp lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Stir in a generous drizzle of olive oil (at least another 1/4 cup).
  • Serve immediately with Greek pita bread or your favorite rustic bread to sop up the sauce!

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.

Time 50m

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.

GREEK CHICKEN WITH GREEN BEANS



Greek Chicken with Green Beans image

My Greek grandmother made the most delicious Greek chicken and green beans with a lemon-tomato flavor. Whenever I make this slow-cooker recipe, I think of her. The juices from the chicken help flavor the green beans, but the beans can be prepared alone as a side dish without the chicken. -Elizabeth Lindemann, Driftwood, Texas
