Fassoulia
"A very easy vegetable dish that improves in flavour the next day, and keeps well in the freezer. Add some cooked diced carrot for a 'sweet' flavour and some coriander and/or cumin."

not even close to a true fassoulia, which is a white bean stew from the Mediterranean. -
I can not give more than two stars to this recipe. Yes, it's easy, but that's about everything. It doesn't taste like much, not even with the carrots and coriander. I made a third version with some dried chilli pepper flakes which came out slightly better. -
My kind of recipe for those days when I do not want to think as I cook dinner. Opening packets and cans made for very little work and this recipe tastes pretty good.
