Green Beans In Olive Oil

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Green beans
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Onion - chopped (medium)
2		Chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1/3 cup	78ml	Extra virgin olive oil
3 1/2 teaspoons	17ml	Sugar
1 cup	237ml	Water

Recipe Instructions

Trim beans & cut into 3 pieces, wash & drain.

Put onion & tomato into a heavy pan. Sprinkle with salt & rub in lightly with fingers. Stir in the beans, olive oil & sugar, mix well. Cover & cook for 15 minutes over medium heat. Stir occasionally. The beans will lose their color & soften. When all the moisture has been absorbed, stir-fry the beans for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup water, cover & simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, till the beans are tender. Add more water if necessary, 1/2 cup at a time. When cooked, the dish should be very moist but not watery. Serve cold as part of a buffet.
