⅓
cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 lb green beans
1 medium potato, sliced (¼-inch thickness, cut in half)
3 medium tomatoes, grated, or 12 to 15 oz chopped tomatoes
¼ cup parsley, chopped
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
Fresh pepper
In a medium pot, heat olive oil at low to medium heat. Sauté onion until softened. Add potatoes and heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add beans and mix with olive oil until coated. Add tomatoes, parsley, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well. Add just enough hot water to halfway cover the beans. Cover and simmer for about 40 minutes, or until beans are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed. May be served as a side dish for four people or a vegetarian/vegan entrée for two.
