Giant Beans with Wine Sausages
2013, August, Kofinou. For years, I spent my summer holidays at our restaurant in Kofinou. My mother needed help, and I never refused her. So, on one of those hot August days, Dana, my mother's assistant from Romania, comes to me and tells me about a dish they make in her country that her husband absolutely loves. What is it? I ask her, puzzled. Giant beans with sausage, she replies. Suddenly, a regular customer from Pitsilia joins our conversation. He excitedly informs us that this dish is made in his region, which is famous for its sausages. Both of them, each in their own way, convince me to add this dish to the menu. Since then, I cook giant beans with 2-3 'teratsia' (pieces) of sausage.
