FASOLAKIA (Green beans in red sauce)


One of the Greek guy's all time favourite! A simple and tasty vegetarian dish, served with crusty bread, feta and a few olives on the side.
The Greek guy likes this cooked for at least an hour until the beans are almost mash-able...the Kiwi girl likes it after about 1/2 hour when the beans are less cooked! 
But I must say that after an hour, the sauce has developed more flavour, so I make it the Greek's way!

FASOLAKIA (Green beans in red sauce)


  • 500g whole frozen beans
  • ½ cup ILIADA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 spring onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 x 400 g tinned diced tomatoes
  • 1/3 tspn sugar
  • 1 x tspn salt & 1 x tspn ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup parsley


Heat olive oil in large casserole, add chopped onions, spring onions and garlic and fry on medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the beans, tomatoes, sugar and S & P. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for an hour, stir occasionally, adding more water if necessary.
Add parsley before serving with feta on top.
Delish...
