Welcome back to Episode 46 of All Things Greek! Today we are making one of my husband’s favorite Greek dishes - Fasolakia, otherwise known as a Greek Green Bean Stew.

Fasolakia is such a comforting dish. It’s a Greek green bean stew, essentially green beans stewed in tomatoes, herbs, olive oil, and tomatoes. It falls under the category of Ladera which are vegetable dishes cooked in olive oil in Greek (and other cultures) cuisines). The best part about Ladera dishes is they are vegetarian and vegan cooked in copious amounts of delicious, silky olive oil. If you are feta opt for vegan feta when making this amazing dish.  Don’t forget to pair it with our amazing pita recipe for dipping into those amazing nourishing juices at the bottom of the plate.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 potatoes, quartered then halved
2 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 cups green beans
3 large tomatoes
2 tsp brown sugar
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups zucchini, cut into semi-circles
1/2 cup fresh chopped mint
1 1/2-2 cups water
vegan or regular feta, olive oil, salt and bread for serving

Instructions:

1. In a large pot heat olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent. Add the potatoes and salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes begin to develop some golden brown colour, about 5-8 minutes.
2. Add the green beans and cook for about 5 minutes.
3. Add in the tomatoes, sugar, tomato paste, zucchini and mint. Stir to combine.
4. Add the 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, keeping at a simmer with the lid on the pot for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Check once and a while to make sure there is always water in the pot. You don’t want this to be a soup-like dish but you definitely want some extra liquid so you can enjoy that beautiful sauce with a slice of bread. If needed, add 1/2 cup more water.
6. After 45-50 minutes, serve in bowls topped with feta and a drizzle of olive oil and a slice of bread to dip in.
