Great recipe!
The lemon and dill bring it to another level and you know it’s a Greek dish!

I really liked it!! I did however feel it needed more seasoning. I doubled the fresh dill and added 1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano. I used canned tomatoes and it was a lot more saucy than the picture but I really liked the sauciness. I also added potatoes. I liked the tang that the lemon gave to it. I will definitely keep this recipe and make again.

This is delicious! I add tofu or potatoes to make it a main meal. Sometimes feta cheese and Kalamata olives. I don’t add the additional 3 tablespoons of olive of as I don’t feel it’s needed, nor do I cook it for as long. I find after 15 minutes, it’s done.

I usually make it more like a stew with more sauce which is delicious! I add a couple of potatoes in too. Yum!

Loveeee it with some feta cheese and crusty bread to mop up the sauce! You could use red wine vinegar in place of the lemon too (but still not as good as fresh lemon juice)!

Fasolakia is one of those dishes that seems to make its way onto the dinner table fairly often, especially when green beans and tomatoes are in season. When I don’t have lemons on hand, I do omit it from the recipe, but it isn’t the same. This dish is absolutely delicious when finished off with some crumbled feta cheese!
