Green Beans

Another favourite from my parents household.  The flavour of the whole onion, simmered and not fry gives a special taste to this dish.  Don’t forget share the onion when dishing up.

1/2 kg   green beans

1 whole onion

1 green pepper

2 tomatoes chopped (or 1/2 can chopped tomatoes)

3 carrots

3 Tbsp oil

salt and white pepper

• Cut both ends of green beans. and discard the ends

• Cut beans in two.

• Place all ingredients (the onion is placed whole) in a pot of water and turn heat at max and cook till beans are soft (about 1 hour) Check that the liquid has not evaporated.

• There should be just enough liquid left to moisten the beans.
