Tourlou Tava
You might think of this as a Greek-style ratatouille. This dish is
best made the day before serving so that flavors have a chance to
"marry." This recipe makes a large amount, so is particularly good
for entertaining or potlucks; however, it may be halved successfully.
Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to a week or may be frozen.
Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh string beans
2 large onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 (2 lb) can Italian tomatoes, chopped
salt and pepper
4-6 medium zucchini
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen okra, thawed (optional)
1. Begin by washing and preparing the vegetables. Snap off ends of
green beans and snap stems into 2-inch pieces. Quarter the onions and
slice them. Slice the zucchini and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine the beans, onion, dill, olive
oil, garlic, parsley, tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste in a
large casserole. Cover and bake for about 10 minutes or until liquid
starts to simmer.
3. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 1 hour.
4. Add the zucchini and okra (if used) and bake an additional hour or
until vegetables are tender.
