Greek Fasolakia

1. Preparation

Wash and trim the ends of 500g of green beans.

Peel and finely chop 1 medium onion.

Peel and chop 2 cloves of garlic.

Chop 2 medium tomatoes into small pieces.

Measure out 1/4 cup of olive oil and set aside.

Chop 1/4 cup of fresh parsley for garnish.

2. Cooking

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to break down.

Add the green beans to the pot and mix well with the tomato mixture.

Pour in 2 cups of water and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender.

Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

3. Serving

Serve warm, garnished with the chopped parsley.

This dish pairs well with crusty bread or rice.
