Fasolakia - Greek Green Bean Stew

It was delicious! I wish the ingredients mentioned the crusty bread, because I only found out I needed to get that as I way plating 😂 but it was delicious without it as well! My partner loved it as well

Heyy Jess, so happy to hear that the soup was enjoyed! And thanks so much for the feedback. We've just updated the recipe to list the bread 🤗

To speeden things up on a weeknight I used canned tomatoes, cooked potatoes and frozen beans. I reduced water to 1 cup. And that was just perfect for us as I like it more saucy not soppy.
For extra protein I included baked tofu and a handful of black eyed peas.
A meal that is easily to individualize.
Fresh beans are better! And the feta is a must for us as it brings everything together. We enjoyed this meal very much and it is proof that wholesome and healthy food does not have to be expensive.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share the swap ideas, Alex! It means so much to hear this 🤗

Really loved this one, very flavourful. The prep time is also not high, which I appreciate, mostly it's just cooking along and not many dishes after!

My non-vegan dad made this recipe tonight and it turned out amazing. He enjoyed using the app as well and said it was one of the best recipes he ever cooked. Highly recommend 😊

Amazing! Came out fantastic! This might become a staple for the week! However, how would you recommend to make this more protein rich?

So happy to hear it turned out, Katya! If you’d like to make it a bit more protein-rich, you could try using our homemade vegan feta made with tofu, stir in some cooked lentils or chickpeas near the end of cooking, or serve it with quinoa instead of bread. A dollop of soy yogurt or a sprinkle of hemp seeds on top would also give it a boost ☺️

This is so good. 10/10. 5/5. Whatever the rating system, it tops the scale.

Made mostly as noted... Except less parsley, and more dill. Also, I had half a can of diced tomatoes in the fridge, so I used that with one fresh tomato. I highly recommend.

Woop woop! So glad it was enjoyed, Natasha, and thanks for the ideas 🙌✨

Another win. So simple yet so flavorful 💖

I made this twice already because it’s so good! My favorite recipe for green beans!

This dish is so so yummy, I love it ❤️
The seasoning is perfect! I made 2 servings, but kept adding water as 1 cup was not enough.
This recipe is perfect for autumn and winter months, it's a warm hug on a plate 🤗

I will definitely make this again. Next time I’ll add 2 extra tablespoons of tomato paste. It feels like the leftovers for tomorrow will be even tastier :) I used frozen beans and it worked really good.

I will slightly reduce the amount of water the next time I make it as it turned out just a bit too watery, but otherwise it's great!

Delicious! As a kid I did not like vegetables. We (Aramaics) have a similar dish to this one and I hated it. I only liked the water of it and always poured it over my bulgur. Now I love veggies and this dish too 🥰 it is nice to see a dish so similar to an Aramaic dish here. It is pretty rare. Thank you for sharing this recipe ❤️

This is so beautiful to hear, Deborah 🥰 amazing how our tastes change over time! Love that this recipe brought back memories of a familiar Aramaic dish. Food really does connect us in such special ways ❤️

Thanks for the lovely reply 🥰

Looks delicious! Does it work with frozen beans?

❤️

This is a winner! I do find that the potatoes take longer then listen to soften (probably due to cooking in the acidic tomatoes)...I might have to tweak that. Also, don't be tempted to remove the lid, like I did, thinking it's too much liquid. 2 c of water is adequate so you have enough dipping broth at the end.

Hey friend, so glad you loved it and thanks for the tips! Keeping the lid on is also helpful for the potatoes to cook through. Cutting the potatoes into slightly smaller chunks next time could also help if you’d like them to soften a bit quicker ☺️

Simple, comforting and flavourful. I’ll definitely make it again.
