Fassolakia – Grecian Green Beans
October 8, 2006 side, vegetarian
I’ve been thinking about learning this dish for a long time. Yesterday I finally cooked up a whole batch and will be eating it as a side dish for three days. Such a good idea I think I will do it again.
Serves: 4
Preparation: 5 min
Cook: 45
Ingredients:
250grams of green beans (French beans)
1 medium onion sliced
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 tin of chopped tomatoes

Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Sautee onion slices in a generous amount of oil until they are transparent, add the garlic and cook for another minute being careful not to brown them.
2. Add green beans and stir through to coat in the flavors cooking only for a minute or so.
3. Add the tomatoes, sugar and parsley and stir through.
4. Bring to the boil and simmer with a lid on for around 40 minutes or until the beans are soft and cooked through.
