FASSOLAKI LADERA / BRAISED GREEN BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE
(Vegetables Unleashed)

This is a pretty classic version of Turkish / Greek / similar regional stewed / braised green bean dishes — garlic, onions, tomatoes, plus a dose of chilli (unlike the Turkish recipe from a friend that I usually make).

This version also includes potatoes, which I skipped, and the origin provides a variation that includes zucchini.

I need to try this with flat / broad beans sometime, which are delicious, but I have never made other than as Indian preparations.

Such a tasty dish for so few ingredients, and I love how silky and tender the green beans become!
