Nowadays, at least where I live in the States, green beans (fasolakia) are available year-round and because of that, this stew makes appearances on our dinner table year-round as well. If You Are Using Dried Beans: Add dried beans to the onions and garlic in the pot. Add to this mixture the tomatoes, chicken broth, and thyme. Bring the whole thing to a simmer and put the chicken back into the broth and veggies and cover.
