You can make this gluten-free ladoo, a round ball of melt in the mouth magic called Besan Laddu or plain Besan Unde. Simple pantry ingredients make this sweet a divine offering to the Gods! Served in a traditional meal as a sweet or as a dessert, a delicacy made with Bengal Gram flour you cannot stop eating just one!
A combination of Green beans, sweet onions and fresh, juicy tomatoes cooked steaming.
Greek Green Beans (Fasolakia Giaxni)
Then it is further classified as “Ladera”, meaning Greek dishes prepared only with olive oil, with no addition of other fat. Giaxni means steaming and Giaxni is a technique used in authentic Greek cooking. The Greeks steam anything from fish, meat, or vegetables.
This delicious hearty, healthy traditional Greek Fasolakia Giaxni vegetarian meal or as a side dish garnished with some salty, crumbled feta on top!
I find this so passionate, ”To prepare this Greek green beans recipe (fasolakia giaxni), the onions are first sautéed, until tender and sweet and the beans are simmered in a tomato based sauce, until all the flavours mingle, and garnished with chopped parsley.” So beautifully, explained and all the details are in these words.
Nothing more to add people remember I am the person who avoids french beans so if I am saying this was a good vegetable it has to be good. The other french beans that I like are Avrikai Palya and French Beans Foogath.
Team it with pita bread or with spinach rice and tzatziki. I am in heaven maybe with a tiny space for something sweet but I am too lazy to move.

That is a very interesting recipe… beans always goes into the simple stir fry and considering it takes time to get chopped, we somehow want to finish cooking it. 🙂 This loos like a very flavorful makeover of this favorite vegetable of mine…
