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)
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...
