Fassoulia literally means ‘bean’ – white, red, green –you get the idea. My husband and I have posted a few fassoulia recipes on this site over the years – fassoulia with stewed lamb, fassoulia with ground meat, and now, meatless fassoulia – with ‘tutum’ (aka zucchini).
Friends joined us for dinner recently. Our menu consisted of grilled lamb loin chops (marinated in Armenian brandy, with ground coriander seeds, onions and peppers), tossed salad, bulgur pilaf, grilled peppers, and onions (from the marinade), and to round-out the meal, a combination of green beans and zucchini – or- fassoulia yev tutum. I don’t normally add zucchini to fassoulia, but I had two small ones and thought, why not? One nice thing about this recipe is that tastes better the next day, so making it a day in advance can save you time, and allows the flavors to meld.
Our guests enjoyed it; we hope you will, too!
