Marrow, Greens & Blackeyed Beans
Home » COOK » Recipes » International Recipes » Greek Cypriot & Greek Recipes »This recipe for Marrow, Greens & Blackeyed Beans is a Greek dish that I remember my aunt cooking whilst out in Cyprus on holidays. I have no clue what the Greek name for it is, and I just know it as marrow, greens and blackeyed beans! It’s lovely and lemony and I really enjoy it. I cooked this for us for dinner last week and hubby enjoyed it too!
