A friend here in Group recipes asked me if I had a recipe for this dish. Well everyone in Greece and Cyprus have a recipe for this dish. This is how my mother used to cook it. I skip the meat and just use all the other ingredients but a few more potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil shopping list
- 3 medium onions, sliced shopping list
- 2 lbs of fasolakia (runner beans), washed and ends broken off shopping list
- 5 cloves of garlic, sliced shopping list
- 1/2 bunch of parsley, chopped shopping list
- 2 Tbsp. of finely chopped mint shopping list
- 1/2 bunch of dill, chopped shopping list
- 3 large ripe tomatoes, passed through a box grater (skins discarded) or 3/4 cup pomodoro sauce shopping list
- 1 kg. or 2 lbs. of good stewing lamb or veal, cut into large portion sized pieces shopping list
- salt & pepper shopping list
- 2 large potatoes, skinned shopping list
How to make it
- Using a pressure cooker, place your lamb or veal (season with salt & pepper) and enough water to cover your meat in the vessel. Close the cooker (according to manufacturer's instructions), bring it to a whistle, lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Allow sufficient time for the pressure to subside, open your pressure cooker and reserve the meat and good veal/lamb stock.
- In the same pressure cooker (now you're simply using it for braising), add your olive oil and onions and saute for 5 minutes to soften. Now add your beans, garlic, parsley, dill, mint, tomato and bring to a boil. Season with salt & pepper, cover the pot and lower the heat. Simmer for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, add your veal/lamb, some of the stock (depends how thick or thin you like your stew) and the potatoes and simmer for another 30 minutes. Adjust for seasoning and serve.
- (FYI...no need for a knife here as the meat is fork tender, moist and flaky).
- If you do not use a pressure cooker use a stewing pan but it needs much more time to cook (about 1 h 30 mnts).
