With this one you have hit the jackpot - my kitchen smells like Thrassos' taverna in Souvala, Eagina. Many thanks. Try with a pinch of dried thyme added with the salt and pepper.

I was looking for a recipe that would be close to the green bean dishes at our local Lebanese and Greek festivals. In my opinion this recipe surpasses them all. Thnak you so much for sharing!

Every Western European country seems to have their own version of it. I've never seen a recipe with green beans. Onions, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, sweet green/red (or whatever have you) peppers, egg plant and of course, basil make up the "champota" I know. I came on this site looking for green beans (fagiolini, in Italian) cooked with tomatoes. Gave me good ideas...now on to cooking dinner. #20 Catherine: “champota” (pretty good….Italian dialect though) is ratatouille - French for the same thing.

Thanks for the informative and detailed post! I've been eating my giagia's classic fasolakia for years and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! However, on a recent visit to Mt. Pelion, on the Aegean coast, my wife and I discovered a variation at a village taverna that I'd like to share with your readers. Rather than adding potatoes, they added garbanzos/chick peas. Because my wife is a corbophobe and believes garbanzos are lower in carbs than potatoes (whatever) we've been making it this way ever since and love it. (but don't tell giagia!) I feel like I've also eaten fasolakia with kidney(?) beans. Good eats! Greetings Zoe! Thanks for the informative and detailed post!
