Greek Stewed Potatoes, Green Beans, And Zucchini

This simple, flavorful stew is traditionally eaten with chunks of feta cheese and some crusty bread. To make the dish easy and foolproof, the recipe calls for frozen green beans. Temperamental fresh green beans can make or break a dish, and require some time for trimming; however, if you have a good, tender batch, by all means use them. A fresh, crusty bread is a must with this. To round out the meal, serve a big green salad with some chickpeas tossed in, and a good wine.
