Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by trimming the ends of the green beans and cutting them into approximately 2-inch pieces.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is heated, add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the canned tomatoes and their juice to the saucepan, crushing them slightly with a spoon to break them up.
Stir in the tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil to the mixture. Allow it to cook together for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the prepared green beans to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the tomato sauce.
Pour in the water, bring the mixture to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the green beans are tender but not mushy.
Season with salt and black pepper according to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for added freshness.
Serve hot as a side dish or a main, accompanied by other paleo-friendly options.
