Greek Style Green Beans

Greek Style Green Beans with Feta

This dish is perfect for a light summer meal.  It is traditionally served with Greek Chicken, but with a torn chunk, or hearty slice of your favorite bread and some Feta, it can be a meal.  Tonight I added potatoes, but it can be done with or without them.  Last time I made them, my friend's son gobbled them up, and I sent her home with the leftovers. My husband has been known to pull them out of the fridge and eat them cold the next day.

Ingredients:

1 lb. organic green beans(you can do fresh or frozen. I did fresh.)
1 small yellow onion(but if you have a brown or red that is fine too!)
1 15oz. can organic tomato sauce
2 Russet potatoes peeled and cut in four pieces
3 cups of water
1/4 cup of olive oil
about a T. of salt(or salt to taste)
1/2 t. pepper
oregano or dill

Rinse and cut off the ends of the green beans. Set aside. Peel and cut the potatoes. Set aside.
Dice the onions and saute at medium high for about five minutes in olive oil.
Add the green beans and potatoes saute for another minute.
Add tomato sauce and water and bring to a boil.
Add salt, pepper and oregano.
Lower heat and simmer for an hour.
Serve it in a dish or shallow bowl with a piece of feta and a slice of bread!


ENJOY!
