Green Beans In Olive Oil Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb green beans
1 medium onion, chopped
2 each chopped tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2-2 c water

Recipe Preparation

Trim beans & cut into 3 pieces, wash & drain.

Put onion & tomato into a heavy pan. Sprinkle with salt & rub in
lightly with fingers. Stir in the beans, olive oil & sugar, mix
well. Cover & cook for 15 minutes over medium heat. Stir
occasionally. The beans will lose their colour & soften. When all
the moisture has been absorbed, stir-fry the beans for 2 to 3
minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover & simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, till
the beans are tender. Add more water if necessary, 1/2 cup at a
time. When cooked, the dish should be very moist but not watery.
Serve cold as part of a buffet.
