Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a nonstick skillet, brown meat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Drain any excess fat. Place meat in a bowl & set aside.

Step 2

Using the same skillet, saute the onions in olive oil until soft and slightly brown

Step 3

Return the meat to the skillet with the onions. Add salt, pepper, allspice, basil, oregano, and garlic. Cover & cook 10 more minutes.

Step 4

In a large pot, add the green beans. Pour the canned tomatoes, and the diluted tomato paste over the green beans; stir.

Step 5

Add the meat mixture to the green beans. Mix together.

Step 6

Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until beans are tender. Add a little more water or stock, as needed. Serve with rice.

Step 7

SPECIAL NOTE: The Fassoulia tastes even better the next day, after the flavors have a chance to intensify. Oh yes, a loaf of crusty bread goes great with this, too! NOTE: If making this without meat, this dish can be served cold or at room temperature.
