Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium or small zucchini or other summer squash, thinly sliced or diced depending on what shape squash you use

1 pound ripe tomatoes, grated on the large holes of a box grater, or peeled, seeded and diced
Salt

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.

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, parsley or dill
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)

Bring to a simmer, then add salt and freshly ground pepper.
