How to Make Fasolakia Green Bean Side Dish

  1. Clean and wash 1 pound of fresh green beans. Trim the ends.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add the prepared green beans and 1/2 cup of water to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp.
  5. While the beans simmer, peel and cut 2 medium potatoes into 4 wedges each.
  6. Add the potato wedges to the pot during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking time. Stir gently to combine.
  7. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water, as needed, until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference.
  9. Serve hot as a delicious side dish. Enjoy!
