GREEK STEWED GREEN BEANS AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH TOMATOES



Greek Stewed Green Beans and Yellow Squash With Tomatoes image

Green beans are one of many vegetables that both Greek and Turkish cooks stew with abundant olive oil in dishes known as ladera. This recipe is inspired by one of them, but it's a far cry from the authentic version, which requires three times as much oil and simmers for a longer time. Don't be put off by the faded color of the beans; they're comforting and delicious.

STEWED GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES WITH TRAHANA



Stewed Green Beans and Tomatoes With Trahana image

The stewed green beans with tomatoes are typical of many Greek "olive oil dishes," or "ladera," though my version has about a quarter of the olive oil used in a traditional dish. I have bulked it up by adding trahana to the mix, which turns it into a stew that is suitable as a main dish. It is delicious hot or at room temperature.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, or 1 1/2 cups grated fresh tomatoes
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
Salt to taste
2/3 cups sour bulgur trahana
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, parsley, or dill
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)
Additional olive oil as desired

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide, covered skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, sugar and salt to taste and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down slightly, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and remaining oil and stir together for a minute, then add about 1 1/2 cups water, or enough to just cover the beans. Bring to a simmer, add more salt to taste, cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, until beans are very tender.
  • Check water level and if necessary add water so that beans are covered. When it begins to simmer, stir in trahana and half the herbs. Cover and simmer, stirring often, until trahana is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in remaining herbs, add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Add lemon juice and more olive oil if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature (traditionally this is allowed to cool and served at room temperature).

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans by snapping off the ends. You can also cut them into 1-inch pieces if you prefer.
  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have few seeds.
  • Season the dish with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
  • Simmer the green beans and tomatoes over low heat until the beans are tender and the tomatoes have broken down. This will take about 30 minutes.
