Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in puree
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
- In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and oregano, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- To skillet, add tomatoes and their puree, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon or your fingers; stir to combine. Add green beans, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until green beans are soft, about 30 minutes. Serve.
I made this tonight and put it over rice with some shaved Parmesan on top. We are trying to go meatless several times a week and this was fantastic. =)
I was not a fan of green beans until I made this recipe. I came across this recipe while searching for a way to get my husband to eat more vegetables. Green beans are one of the few veggies he eats. We are all fans of this recipe. It is so easy to make and leftovers are easy to warm up.
It is one of my fast and easy go to recipes. Love it.
Yum. This is a lot like a traditional Greek recipe that my Greek friend gave me.
