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:
- 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!
GREEK FASOLAKIA ME KOTA: BRAISED CHICKEN WITH STRING BEANS
Chicken with string beans cooked in a light tomato sauce is a classic Greek stew. Traditionally, this dish was made at the end of summer when there was an abundance of green beans. Nowadays, at least where I live in the States, green beans (fasolakia) are available year-round and because of that, this stew makes appearances on our dinner table year-round as well.

- 1. Heat the oil in the base of a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. 2. Add the green beans and potatoes to the pot and toss together for a few minutes. 3. Dissolve the tomato paste in the water and add to the pot. Add the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. There should be enough liquid in the pot to come half way up the vegetables. If not, add more water. 4. Seal the pressure cooker lid and turn the heat up to high. Once the pressure cooker starts steaming, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12 minutes. 5. Remove the pot from the heat and release the steam. Once the stew has cooled for a bit, it is ready to serve. Bread and feta cheese compliment this dish quite well.
