Green Beans in oil

Fresh string beans slow-cooked with tomatoes, onions, and garlic in extra virgin olive oil. A simple, nutritious vegan dish traditionally served at room temperature with pita bread.

🥄 Ingredients

• 1 kg green beans (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 0.5 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 medium tomatoes
• 1 cup good quality olive oil

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Clean the beans if they are fresh and cut them to your desired size. If they are frozen, soak them in boiling water immediately. Don't remove them from the freezer beforehand; put them directly into the boiling water.
2. Heat olive oil in a suitable pot. Add the garlic and sauté until golden brown. Then add the dried coriander and sauté with the garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the beans and sauté for 5 minutes. At this point, add the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes (not too large or too small), salt, and a cup of boiling water. Stir well, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender.

🌹 Decoration

Garnish the bean dish with green peppers.
