Foraging for Flavor Greek Herbs/Bean Cuisine / Spa ... - Kerasma

Every time I ask my Greek student chefs to name a national
Greek dish, they undoubtedly mention fasolada, bean soup. This
hearty bean soup, made with plenty of onions, tomatoes, olive
oil, and aromatic vegetables like celery and carrots or herbs such
as parsley, is both frugal and nutritious. It is also a mirror of
regional culinary distinctions, spiked with hot peppers in
Macedonia, where spicy food is embraced, or perfumed with
orange zest in Crete.
