      EXCELLENT!! Just as YiaYia makes it. Like a few other chefs I did use EVOO as opposed to the butter and it did not take away from the flavors at all. I minced the garlic, parsley and onions together, let sitt a few minutes, then added to the warmed oil. I did not use fennel, as I did not have any. (thought I had some left but alas, empty jar) I used crushed tomatoes and let it simmer. WOW. My tastebuds are singing! Made this with Leg of Lamb for the Slow Cooker / Crock Pot and oh did it go so nice. A little bit of Greece is a little bit of Heaven. Thank you.

      Excellent! I did, in the interest of low fat cooking, use a very small amount of extra virgin olive oil in place of the butter, but otherwiwse remained faithful to the recipe. I mashed the garlic clove with the fresh parsley and the fennel seeds in my mortar and pestle which I think helps bring out the flavor of the seeds. This was a peerfect complemnt to grilled lamb.

      This is a fabulous, easy recipe. I recommend using the fennel seeds as it leaves you with such a lovely fresh flavour that really suits the beans. Tonight I served with a roast lamb and potatoes. Thanks for a keeper.

      What a great way to have green beans. It was very different for me and I liked it very much. I used frozen beans with no problem and I thought that the fennel seed was a great addition. This was a wonderful side dish that we all enjoyed.

      This was even better than I anticipated. I love the additon of the fennel ( Even my flavor phobic husband didn't make any negative comments)! I did use frozen green beans ; they worked fine. However, I was able to shorten the cooking time a little. As with almost evrything; I added a little more garlic.

      A new favorite way to prepare green beans! I subbed 1 T olive oil for the butter and fresh basil for the fennel and wow, was this good. I recommend covering the pan during the 30 minute simmer in order to get the beans tender.

      This was delicious - even the kids liked it. I used the fennel, and used canned diced tomatoes, as I had some left over from earlier that week. Thanks for this recipe. It will become a regular at our house.
