FASOLAKIA YIAHNI (GREEN BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE)
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.

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.
LITHUANIAN COLD BEET SOUP - ŠALTIBARš?IAI
There are many variations of this traditional Lithuanian dish. My version is our mother's version. I don't think there is anything better on a hot summer day - in fact, I made it today, because we are having a heat wave, and I don't really want much to eat. The cook time is refrigeration time.

Steps:
- Note on ingredients; You can use fresh or canned beets. If using canned, make sure they are plain, not spiced. If using fresh, you can roast or boil. If boiling, save some of the cooking liquid. Seedless or the small pickling cucumbers worked best. If using the larger standard cucumbers, peel and seed them for best results. Buttermilk (pasukos) was traditional, but some time during the Soviet years, kefir became popular and it works really well. But we always used buttermilk, and my grandmothers, both farmers, would have used buttermilk from their own cows. If you cannot find whole milk buttermilk or kefir, add some sour cream to create the right taste. Mother always did this. Also, you can add more beets or cucumbers, if you like - I don't usually measure, but I did this time just to have a starting point.
- Combine the beets, cucumber, scallion, dill, and radish, if using, in a medium bowl. Add sour cream to buttermilk or kefir if you need to and add to the bowl. Taste and add salt as desired - buttermilks vary in how much sodium they contain. (If you boiled the beets and saved some cooking liquid or used canned, you can add some to make the soup more vivid. If you roasted beets, the color will intensify while the soup is refrigerated).
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours or up to overnight.
- Add chopped egg, if desired, to each serving, as well as a fresh sprinkle of chopped dill.
- Serve with hot boiled potatoes. Some people like to plop their potatoes into the šaltibarš?iai - I don't, as I think it warms up the soup and the contrast between hot and cold is delightful.
