Recipe by Diana Moutsopoulos from allrecipes.com

Dinner 50 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1.5 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 4 medium tomatoes, pureed
  • 2 medium yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 cup water, or as needed

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and stir until coated in oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add puréed tomatoes, potatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well, then add enough water to barely cover beans.
  • Cover the saucepan partially with a lid. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook gently until green beans and potatoes are soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover towards the end of cooking to reduce sauce if it is too watery.
