SPANISH GREEN BEANS WITH POTATOES
Translated from Karlos Arguiñano's "Atrévete a cocinar". NOTES: (1) Green beans in Spain are longer and flatter. Once I had them cooked and before I ate them I mistook them for spinach pasta. I would only suggest this recipe if you can get these type of beans, or if you know how to adapt the recipe, because I'm thinking, given their size and shape, that they are prepared and cooked a bit differently than their rounder cousins. (2) When this author refers to a tbsp it means a soup-spoonful. The water was originally described as two tumbler-glasses full.

Steps:

- Peel potato and cut them into stew chunks.
- Add green beans and potato to saucepan, season with salt to taste and let simmer 30 minutes.
- Peel garlic cloves, slice width-wise and fry in 4 tbsp oil in a small pan. When they are golden-brown, add them along with hot oil to green beans and let boil 2 minutes so that the flavors mix. Serve on plates.
