Green Beans in Oil Recipe

Ingredients for Green Beans in Oil:

• 1 kilo of green beans (French or runner)
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 ripe tomatoes, skinned and crushed
• 1 cup of oil (good quality extra virgin olive oil is best)
• Salt and pepper

Method for Green Beans in Oil:

1. Prepare the beans and put into a saucepan with the onion and about half a cup of water.
2. Cook to soften the onion and beans then add the oil, tomatoes, seasoning and another 2 cups of water.
3. Boil until well cooked.

Notes:

This is a Greek dish that turns beans into a really tasty dish on their own.

You can also add diced potatoes but they need par-boiling first.

A good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil really makes a difference to this dish.
