Questions

How long does Fassolada keep?

Refrigerate it up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it.

Can I halve or double Fassolada?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.

Serve it with

Gigantes Plaki (Baked Giant Beans) side
Politiki Salata (Cabbage Carrot Salad) salad
Mirchi Ka Salan side
