LEBANESE-STYLE GREEN BEAN STEW
This recipe comes from Leah Leneman's book "Easy Vegan Cooking". I haven't made this yet, but unlike other green bean dishes I've tried, this one includes potatoes. It also has a good quantity of cumin, which is one of my favourite spices. Leah suggests this is served a main dish, with crusty wholewheat bread or pitta bread; and that is how I will be serving it.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, fry the onion in the oil for 2 - 3 minutes then add the potatoes and continue cooking for another 3 - 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the beans, sprinkle over the cumin and cayenne and mix well together.
- Whizz the tomatoes in a blender, then add the liquidized tomatoes to the pan; stir the contents, bring to the boil, cover and leave to simmer over a medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the beans and potato are tender and tomatoes have reduced to a thick sauce, test for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as required; serve immediately.
