Recipe: Greek Green Beans

[Guest guest]

Well, I made up the title. I'm calling it Greek since I served it with

falafel, tahini and pita bread. Fresh beans are best as you can really

taste them without being hidden in a bunch of spices.

 

2 lbs fresh green beans cut into 2 " pieces

2 small white onions (or one large one) cut into thin slices

1-2 cloves garlic, sliced

1 large tomato, chopped (or 1/2 can stewed tomatoes cut up into small

pieces)

water

1/2 c chopped parsley

 

Saute the sliced onions in 2 tbsp olive oil until tender. Add the

garlic and cook for about one minute. Add the green beans, tomato and

enough water to just cover everything. Simmer until the beans are

tender, then sprinkle on the chopped parsley and incorporate.

 

I served these with a drizzle of tahini mixture (tahini, water and

lemon juice), falafel, feta cheese and pita bread.

 

Enjoy!
