- 500 grams fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and create a sauce.
Add the green beans to the pan, stirring to coat them in the tomato mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low.
Cook covered for 20-25 minutes, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high, cooking for 5 more minutes to thicken the sauce.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
