At Anna’s Kitchen Table

Green beans (or peas) in a tomato sauce

Probably one of the best loved Cypriot family recipes, ever.

After the recipe for keftedhes, I’m sure my kids will search for this recipe!

Hey kids, it’s your Mom. Love you. ❤️

This dish can be made with chicken portions, or with lamb chops, pork chops, or indeed with no meat at all and just potatoes and the green beans or peas.

Either in the Instant Pot, or in a large frying pan/wok, brown the meat and potatoes until golden brown.

If using the IP, pour over the meat and potatoes either a 750g bag of frozen green beans, or frozen peas, one tin of finely chopped tomatoes, one chicken stock cube, 2-3 cups of water and a little salt. Cook on pressure cook setting for 10 minutes. Release pressure in whichever way you prefer.

If not using the IP, transfer the chicken and potatoes into a large pot suitable for the hob, pour over the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, then simmer until the potatoes and vegetables are tender and the meat (if using) is cooked through.
