Fasolakia

Fasolakia, a vegan dish of Romano (aka runner) beans stewed in olive oil and tomato with a few potato wedges for good measure. My παππού loved this dish so much he once got a rash after eating it for too many days in a row! I guess there can be too much of a good thing 😂 Not pictured is the compulsory crusty bread you need to mop up the gorgeous sauce (as well as a big chunk of feta cheese).

_____
5 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, grated
1.5 lb (675g) Romano beans, trimmed
4 medium tomatoes, pureed
1 large yellow potato, peeled and cut into wedges
salt and pepper
_____
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook onion till softened. Add beans, stir to coat in oil and cook briefly. Pour in pureed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and add potato. Pour in water till just barely covered. Bring to a simmer, partially cover with lid, then simmer gently until veg is soft. Uncover towards the end of cooking to reduce the sauce (you don’t want it too watery). Serve warm or at room temperature as a main dish with bread and feta cheese. Serves 2-3
