Green beans with onion, garlic and tomato

• 700g fresh green beans
• 2 onions
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 can of organic chopped tomatoes
• 4tbsp organic vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• Black pepper to taste

METHOD:

• Trim the beans and cut into 3cm lengths. Cut the onions in half and slice crosswise to fine slices, and chop the garlic very fine.
• Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic for a few seconds, before adding the onion slices. Stir and fry for another 3 minutes or so, until the onions begin to turn translucent.
• Add the tomatoes, beans, salt and pepper and 100ml water
• Bring to the boil, cover, and then simmer for around 15 minutes until the beans are cooked.
• Remove the lid, turn up the heat and reduce the sauce until it is quite thick. Stir while you are doing this to stop it from sticking.
