Fasoulakia - Green Beans
Kathy TsaplesIngredients:
- 1.5 kg green beans
- 3 zucchinis
- 3 potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 1 can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 small chilli, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 cup of olive oil
- 3 cups of Massel stock
- 1 cup of parsley finely chopped
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Method:
- Slice the tops off the green beans and string them if necessary. Rinse and drain, keeping them in your colander for now.
- Peel your potatoes and cut them into quarters.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pot and sauté the onions until they are softened and almost sticky (but not burnt).
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, two to three grinds of fresh pepper and a good amount of salt and paprika. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for around 10 minutes until the tomatoes soften and collapse.
- Add the chilli, potatoes and carrots, then add the stock and put the lid on the saucepan.
- When it comes to a boil, stir through the beans and then put the lid back on. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the beans are soft and the liquid has reduced.
- Add the zucchini and continue to simmer. It’s a good idea to stir the beans every so often. At the end of this time there should be a good amount of thickish sauce.
- Turn off the heat and leave the casserole covered for a while, allowing it to absorb the flavours.
- Serve hot, warm or cold.
