[Guest guest]

(Fasolia xera yachnista)

 

1 lb. of beans

1 onion

1 cup of oil

1-2 tbsps of concentrated tomato pulp

2-3 sprigs of celery

half a small bunch of parsley

2-3 medium size carrots

Soak the beans in water overnight.

Next day, boil them in a pot until half-cooked: then drain them.

In another pot brown the minced onion with the oil and add the celery

When all this comes to boil, add the beans and simmer.

Hello Shoshana,

 

the best (and original ones) would be Greek " fassolia gigantes "

(Giant White Beans) which you can get at Greek or Middle Eastern

stores, or order online at http://www.greekolivewarehouse.com/

However, butter beans will be fine as well.

 

Warm regards,

 

Gabriella
