About Fasolakia

Fasolakia, a staple of Greek cuisine, is a savory dish made primarily from fresh green beans simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce. Often cooked with olive oil, onions, garlic, and potatoes, this dish is sometimes enhanced with carrots and herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor. Fasolakia is traditionally served as a main course and reflects the Mediterranean diet's focus on vegetables, olive oil, and wholesome ingredients. It is nutrient-dense, providing fiber, vitamins A and C, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from the olive oil. While it is low in calories and ideal for plant-based diets, the dish can be moderately calorie-dense if prepared with excessive oil. Fasolakia is a flavorful and nutritious way to enjoy the health benefits of fresh produce while indulging in the rich culinary traditions of Greece.
