Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Serves: 4

If served as four portions, provides 289 cals, 13.1g fat (of which 2g saturates), 8.1g sugar and 0.3g salt per portion.

Ingredients

- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 small onion, grated
- 680g (1½lb) fresh green beans, trimmed
- 4 tomatoes, pureed
- 2 yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- ½ tsp salt, or to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch white sugar (optional)
- Water to cover

Method

1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir in onion. Cook until onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and stir to coat in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 - 3 minutes. Add pureed tomato, potatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well, then add water until beans are barely covered.

2. Bring to a simmer, partially cover with a lid, and cook gently over medium-low heat until green beans and potatoes are soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover towards the end of cooking to reduce sauce if it is too watery.
