Fassolakia Freska Me Domata – Greek Green Beans & Tomato,This is a recipe for delicious green beans & tomato, cooked the traditional Greek way. Fresh green beans, tomatoes, herbs and spices are simmered together long enough for the tastes to meld. Recipe by Nancy Gaifyllia, she says “This Theban version of a classic Greek recipe is deceptively simple to fix, combining fresh green beans with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and parsley, and delivers a sophisticated taste. It can be served as a main dish, or as a side. ” Posted for ZWT 4.,I made these beans after finding beautiful Italian flat beans at our local farmers’ market this weekend. They were delicious with Greek Potatoes (Recipe #87782), steaks, and salad. The recipe is easy and it’s nice to try other ways to serve green beans (as Southerners, we tend to usually boil them with ham -good but boring). I did add some fresh Greek oregano from my herb garden as well as the parsley.,I found these to make a pleasant vegetable to accompany more strongly flavored Greek foods for a themed meal; but I would probably not fix them for a regular family dinner.
