Directions
Fasolakia Ladera, This is a traditional Greek recipe I grew up eating this as a child, and I think it’s fantastic Can be served both hot or cold , I imagine that tomato paste means something else to the author than to me In the U S , anyway, tomato paste is a thick, concentrated well paste It doesn’t pour, and it doesn’t provide enough liquid to boil anything in Having added 8 oz of tomato paste, I was left with a powerfully over-tomato-ed glop, and no cooking liquid Thus, adding water became necessary, which I did The potatoes never cooked — they were still crunchy after an hour’s simmering The recipe calls for an ounce of carrot, but never says when or how it goes into the pot There’s no garlic, which I suppose is simply how this person likes their fasolakia Nor is there cinnamon, which is pretty traditional, yes? Overall, a frustrating experience producing a barely edible dish Might have been much better had used 8 oz of tomato sauce, or of diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes or even halved Romas in liquid Tomorrow I will put the remains in a big pot with a lot of water, simmer it for a few hours with beans and some green spice, and see if I can make a rich soup from it , Excellent recipe! For something uniquely ‘Greek’ I would only add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon at the very end
