Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Green beans
1 medium Onion -- chopped
2 each Chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
3 1/2 teaspoons Sugar
1 cup water

Trim beans & cut into 3 pieces, wash & drain.

Put onion & tomato into a heavy pan. Sprinkle with salt & rub in lightly
with fingers. Stir in the beans, olive oil & sugar, mix well. Cover & cook
for 15 minutes over medium heat. Stir occasionally. The beans will lose
their colour & soften. When all the moisture has been absorbed, stir-fry the
beans for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover & simmer for 40 to 50
minutes, till the beans are tender. Add more water if necessary, 1/2 cup at
a time. When cooked, the dish should be very moist but not watery.
Serve cold as part of a buffet.
