Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans (trimmed)
- 60 milliliters olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes (grated or finely chopped)
- 2 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into wedges)
- 2 tablespoons dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 250 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems or ends.
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the grated or chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, letting the mixture thicken slightly.
Add the potatoes and green beans to the pot, stirring to coat them with the tomato mixture.
Pour in the water and add the salt, black pepper, and sugar (if using). Stir to combine.
Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 35–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans and potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Stir in the chopped dill and parsley just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve warm with crusty bread or as a side dish to grilled meats or fish. Enjoy!
