Vrasta Fasolakia Freska image

This is a Greek green-bean recipe. The fennel seeds in the recipe impart a sort of licorice-like taste, so if you don't like licorice you might want to omit these. I've made it both with and without and it still tastes good, though different, without the seeds. A good side dish to serve with moussaka.

This dish was very flavorful, but it was also a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

The beans were a bit undercooked for my taste. I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time.
