Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs fresh or frozen green beans, -not frenched or cut up
2 large sweet onions , cut into thick 1/2-inch slices
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch slices
2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper

Directions:

Use a large stock pot or dutch oven, sautee onions over medium heat with the salt and pepper in 1/4 cup olive oil until onions just begin to soften- about 2-3 minutes.
Add garlic and potatoes and stir. Add the tomato sauce and water. Add the green beans last, stir all together until well mixed. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil on top.
Cook over medium -low heat, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until potatoes are fork tender and beans are soft. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
This usually takes and hour and a half but I often lower the heat and leave the beans on for 2+ hours.
The beans are even better the next day- get out your bread, load up a bowl and enjoy yourself! Kali orexi!
