STEWED GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES WITH TRAHANA
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.

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).
