Ingredients
Check you have the quantities below.
- 500 g fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Let’s make it
- Cook the onion in olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt, sugar, and water, then stir in the green beans.
- Cover and simmer on low for 30 to 35 minutes until the beans are very tender.
- Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired.
This is mild and soft, so it works well for children; cut the beans into smaller pieces if needed.
Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
