About Fasolaki
Fasolaki yiahni is a Cypriot green-bean stew with potatoes in a tomato-rich sauce. Roman shares his mother’s version, a family dish suited to lunch or dinner.
Garlic and yellow onion give the sauce a savoury base, while lemon zest adds a citrus note. Tomato paste deepens the tomato flavour, and olive oil brings richness to the vegetables.
Soft beans and potato pieces sit in the stew’s juices. Almond flakes and parsley are suggested finishing touches; the source also offers optional chicken, white wine and cumin.
