Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb green beans (thin,tender ones are best)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped finely
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
3 -4 medium tomatoes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and string the beans, but leave them whole.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil until hot.
  • Add the onion and saute for about 5 minutes until it is tender, but not brown.
  • Add the green beans.
  • Cover the skillet.
  • Cook for about 15 minutes or until the beans start to wilt.
  • Coarsely chop two of the tomatoes (ONLY TWO).
  • Add to the pan and cover again.
  • Cook for another 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes have melted into a sauce.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
  • If necessary add another one or two chopped tomatoes and continue cooking.
  • You may need to add extra olive oil also as it contributes to the flavor.
  • Cook until the beans are very tender.
  • Trust me, crunchy does NOT work with this dish.
  • Serve hot, cold, or at room temperature (the way Greeks do).
  • If you can find good, creamy feta, crumble a good chunk into the beans before serving.
