FASSOLAKIA -  Braised green beans  
 

Braised Green Beans are found in many cuisines’ across our globe. From the Asias, Middle East, the Africas and my favourite is the Mediterranean Greek dish; Fassolakia.

The beans are soft but by no means mushy, the potatoes break down a little and thicken the sauce. The garlic and tomato remind you of the Mediterranean and the herbs add a little freshness.

This is a meal on its own served with  fetta cheese, and crusty bread.
