🍲 Ingredients
Green Beans – I love green beans! For this dish, you’ll want to use fresh green beans, but if you have to use frozen, you totally could. Green beans are so good at helping with inflammation and are a good source of folate and potassium. Green beans are also high in fiber which helps keep your digestive track on-point Olive Oil – This is a key ingredient in Ladera dishes and it’s important to use a good quality oil for the best flavor. NEVER substitute it for another oil like vegetable or canola. You’ll want to make sure you buy extra virgin olive oil, and it’s always a good rule of thumb to look for one NOT in a clear bottle for the best flavor and quality Tomatoes – If you are making this when tomatoes are in season the fresh tomatoes will make it fire. However, you can use fresh tomatoes all year round or substitute the fresh for crushed/canned tomatoes instead
👩🍳 How to Make Fasolakia
🎩 Tips and Tricks
Tomatoes to Tangy? If you find the tomatoes taste too tangy, especially when they’re out of season, I like to add some salt Tomatoes to acidity? Add in a little bit more of the sugar. Start with a pinch at a time as you don’t want to turn your dish too sweet Serving: Serve this dish with a big slice of crusty bread, top it with feta and/or fresh parsley How to keep your gut healthy: Keeping my digestive tract in order is a top priority for me, and that’s why I like to prioritize gut-healthy ingredients like green beans into my meal plan each week, but also take supplements like ION* Gut Support.
