- 500 g./1 lb. 2 oz. green beans
- 3 medium-sized onions finely chopped
- 10 garlic cloves peeled
- 6 medium-sized tomatoes peeled and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- A dash of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions

- Set the pot over medium heat, add the oil and onions and sauté till transparent.
- Add the green beans to the pot and stir. Cook until the beans start wilting.
- Add the garlic cloves to the pot. Mix with the onions and green beans. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes or until the beans are cooked.
- Stir the vegetables every few minutes to avoid any sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.

Notes
To peel the tomatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and make a shallow x, using a knife, on each tomato. Drop them in boiling water for a few seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool down. Use your fingers to peel the tomatoes.
