Makes 4 servings
1 pound green beans, OR a mixture of green and yellow wax beans
8 boiling onions, each about 1-1/2 inches wide
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
salt
2 ripe peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped dill OR basil leaf
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
water, OR juice from the tomatoes
Snap off top and tail, then cut into pieces about 1 1/2-inches long and wash well. Peel the onions and slice them in thin rounds. In a sauté pan liberally sprayed with cooking spray, cook the onion and garlic over a gentle heat for several minutes until the onions begin to soften. Salt lightly, then add the beans and cover them with the chopped tomatoes and herbs. Add several tablespoons tomato juice or water, cover the pan tightly and cook over medium heat until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
