fasólia

Beans. They are the star ingredient of φασολάδα (fasoláda), Greek bean soup, the ultimate homey comfort food, made with onions, carrots, olive oil and vinegar (on Ikaría they also use fennel, tomatoes, and dill; on Samothráki they let it sit for a day and fry it, a bit like Mexican refried beans to make fasoláda tsigirísta).

Big white butter beans are gígantes; broad beans are koukiá; French or green beans are fasolákia.

Other beans are:

αμπελοφάσουλο (abelofásoulo): string beans

φασόλι Λίμα (fasóli Líma): Lima beans

φασόλια μαυρομάτικα (fasólia mavromátika): black-eyed peas, often cooked with spinach. Also see louviá
