Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Skinnymixer’s My Dad’s Fasolakia features in the Budget section of the cookbook Dinners 4.

Inside The Healthy Mix Dinners 4 you’ll find Dinners is FULL with 36 Dinners. Whether you are feeding your family on a tight budget, needing to get dinner on the table fast, watching your calorie intake or perhaps cutting back on takeaway.  ✨

The My Dad’s Fasolakia is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

My Dad’s Fasolakia was often simmering away in the kitchen during my childhood. This Greek Bean and Potato Stew is simple, extremely cheap to make but still very hearty.
I like to top with crumbled feta and I’m quite partial to adding some fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon!

Tips & Dietary Needs

  • No Chicken Stock Concentrate? We highly recommend making Niks Chicken Stock Concentrate for best results! Vegetable stock concentrate will work. You can also replace the water with liquid stock. 
  • Low carb – Replace potatoes with cauliflower florets, added in the last 20 min of cooking.
  • Lower calorie – 
  • Paleo – Replace potatoes with cauliflower florets, added in the last 20 min of cooking.
  • Low Fodmap – Omit garlic. Use garlic infused olive oil. Replace onion with leek (green part only). Use compliant stock concentrate.

How to Cook

This dish is traditionally cooked low and slow. The fragrant tomato sauce is flavoured with the garlic, onion, herbs and stock concentrate.

Cook until the potatoes are tender and the beans are soft – the beans are meant to be well cooked and not crunchy.

How to Serve

  • Serve with some crusty bread and crumbled feta over the top. 
  • You can eat as a simple main meal or serve as a side-dish to roast lamb, BBQ meat or protein of choice.

Storage & Meal Prep

  • Fridge – Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze.
  • Make ahead – freeze cooked for up to three months.

From the Testing Team

  • Krisha G – Oh my Nik! This is very yummy, I’m currently eating after popping in the slow cooker last night. Its delicious.
  • Amanda E – Loved this!! Hubby complained there was no meat(when I told him what I was making) , but still loved it lol. Such a hearty meal, and perfect for the cooler weather we have here atm ❤️
  • Angie G – The bean stew tasted absolutely delicious 😋 Such a comforting dish, rich in flavour and in texture. Cooked in TM7.
  • Kaz M – Cooked in TM5. Flavour is delicious. Its a warm hug in the bowl.. beans broke down quite a bit though potatoes stayed together! This is yum and reminds me so much of a Lebanese bean stew my grandma use to make (minus the spices) called loubieh.
  • Nae J – I love things like this that I can just add grilled chicken for the gym folk and go veg for the rest, huzzah!

FAQs

Can I add meat to this dish?
Personally I think it is best to serve with some grilled lamb chops or protein cooked separately.

Do you have a preferred Tomato Passata or Tomato Paste brand?
I find some of the cheaper tomato passatas and tomato pastes quite acidic and lacking flavour. I love to use the Mutti or Leggo’s brands here in Australia, This is a very simple dish, with simple flavours – sometimes cheaper isn’t always better.
