Greek-Style String Beans

 

One of my favorite ways to serve string beans.

 

2 lbs. string beans

1 c. olive oil

1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)

3 fresh tomatoes

3 large onions, chopped

1/2 c. chopped celery

parsley to taste

oregano to taste

garlic powder to taste

mint leaves to taste

 

Cut off ends of beans and wash in cold water.

Cut in pieces or slice lengthwise (French style).

Saute onions; add string beans and all ingredients.

Add enough water (about 1 cup) to cook string beans.

NOTE: Other vegetables that can be prepared this way are fava beans, potatoes,

okra, eggplant, chick peas.

A combination of string beans, potatoes, carrots and celery makes a tasty

one-dish meal.

Makes 4 servings.
