Ingredienser

  • 500 g green beans, preferable the broad ones
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves, garlic finely diced
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped into small cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup water

Sådan gør du

  • 1: Cut the ends of the beans. If you use the broad beans, you may want to cut them once lengthwise, if they are very wide, and then cut them into chunks of 8-10 cms length.
    2: Heat the oil in a saucepan.
    3: Fry the onion over low heat until it gets a bit of color. Add the garlic and fry them. gently.
    4: add the tomato puree, if you're use it.
    5: Add the sliced beans and let them cook for about 6-8 minutes.
    6: Then add the tomatoes and let them boil for about 5 minutes.
    7: Add sugar, salt, pepper and water (and possibly cumin, if you use it).
    8: Let it all simmer for about 30 minutes. The beans should be so tender, that they can be cut with a fork.
    9: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let everything cool in the pan. Then put the bean salad in a bowl and set aside in the refrigerator until needed.
    Please take the salad out about 30 minutes before use so it reaches to room temperature.
    Server alone, as meze or as an accompaniment to eg. Grilled steak, chicken or lamb.

Noter

You may add 1 tablespoon tomato paste, a little chili powder and a pinch of cumin if you like. It adds a little extra to the taste.
