Green Beans Hellinika image

A wonderful, easy way to cook green beans. This recipe was passed along to me when I attended a Greek Orthodox Church in Boston. Delicious!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs fresh green beans
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried mint (optional)
1 teaspoon fennel seed (optional)
1 minced garlic clove
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups water or 3 cups vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Clean and de-stem green beans. Leave whole or cut to bite size pieces if you prefer.
  • (If you prefer your green beans more on the crispy side, saute the onion and garlic in 2 Tbsp of the olive oil before the next step.).
  • Put all ingredients into stock pot. Add only enough water or stock to keep beans from sticking. (I have made these with chicken stock as well).
  • Cover and cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes.
