Healthy Greek green beans braised in extra virgin olive oil with tomato and potatoes. This simple and easy vegan recipe makes a wonderful entrée that takes just half an hour to make.
In a wok or pot, heat olive oil and cook the onion until it's soft and translucent.
Add the green beans and shallow fry for a couple of minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Add the water or stock.
Cover with a lid and simmer on low-medium heat stirring occasionally for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
If you're using a pressure cooker, then cover with the lid and cook on "high pressure" for 5 minutes. Quickly release the steam once the cooking is finished and serve.
Serve with a splash of lemon juice, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley leaves.
Notes
You can skip the potatoes, and make a Middle Eastern green bean dish called Fasolia bi zeit.
Feel free to add a clove of garlic with the green beans.
Serve with bread, over rice, or just the beans and potatoes on their own.
