About this recipe
Fasolada is often called the national dish of Greece, a humble white bean soup simmered with carrots, celery and tomato in plenty of olive oil. Rich in plant protein and fiber, it is warming, filling and completely vegan.
Method
- 1
Drain the soaked beans, cover with fresh water and boil for 30 minutes, then drain.
- 2
In a large pot, sauté the onion, garlic, carrot and celery in olive oil until softened.
- 3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, bay leaf and oregano.
- 4
Return the beans to the pot and cover with fresh water.
- 5
Simmer gently for 45–60 minutes until the beans are tender.
- 6
Season with salt and pepper toward the end of cooking.
- 7
Finish with a generous drizzle of olive oil and serve warm.
Tips
- Soaking the beans overnight shortens the cooking time and makes them easier to digest.
- Add salt only near the end, so the beans stay soft rather than tough.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon just before serving brightens the whole soup.
