a greek dish

peggy

ok. I'm doing my homework and I want to help everyone out there who wants extra info on greek foods. A great dish that is made from green beans with tomatoes cooked in oil (fassolakia). Nutritional info: Per Serving:
Calories- 217
Protein- 4.1
Fats- 14.6
Carbs-17
Cholesterol- 0

Recipe-
2.2 pounds of fresh string type beans
4 tablespoons of olive oil2 onions chopped
2 cloves of garlic crushed
a bunch of parsley finely chopped
1/2 pound of ripe tomatoes peeled and finely chopped
2 teaspoons of salt
pepper
1 cup of water


In a pot add the olive oil and onions and saute until translucent. Add the garlic,parsley,tomatoes, salt and pepper. Saute 2 mins then add green beans and 1 cup of water

stir, cover, and simmer for about 50 to 80 mins (depending on how tender the beans are)

p.s. you should keep your eye on it and stir to make sure all the water hasn't evaporated. If there isn't anymore water left then add a little at a time. And make sure the heat isn't turned up too high.

Sounds very tasty Peggy. I am going to try Spanicopita this weekend. Any good hints or notes I can use? I am a little worried that I won't get it right.

Thanks
Eve

#1 hint for making spanikopita.......keep the phyllo dough moist! Once it starts to dry, it cracks, breaks, chips, tears.....it is VERY fragile.
