Description

A delightful Mediterranean dish of fresh green beans, tender baby potatoes, and rich tomato sauce, perfect for warm weather meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion, finely diced
  • 1 pound Green beans, trimmed
  • 1 medium Tomato, diced
  • 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons Water
  • Lemon juice for serving (optional)
  • Parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Wash and trim the green beans, wash and halve the baby potatoes, and dice the onion and tomato.
  2. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add halved baby potatoes to the pan and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the trimmed green beans and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  5. Add diced tomato, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine; the tomatoes will release their juices.
  6. Pour in water, cover the pan, and steam for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once vegetables are tender, stir and adjust seasoning to taste. Drizzle lemon juice if desired.
  8. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Quality ingredients make a significant difference. Adjust seasoning to taste, and consider adding fresh herbs for extra flavor.
