Equipment
- Large skillet or saute pan with a lid
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or MSG-salt
- 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 medium tomatoes cored and seeded, diced
- 1 Tablespoon minced fresh parsley plus more for serving
- 1 pound green beans ends trimmed
- ½ cup water plus more as needed
- 1-2 ounces crumbled Feta cheese for serving
Instructions
- Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced garlic and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the diced tomatoes, 1 Tablespoon minced fresh parsley, and trimmed green beans. Pour in ½ cup water.
- Cover the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 40 minutes until the beans are very tender, stirring occasionally. While the beans cook, keep an eye on the water level, and if it evaporates and starts looking dry, add a bit more.
- When the beans are tender, if there is still quite a bit of liquid in the pan, increase the heat to medium-high, push the beans to the sides of the pan, and allow the liquid to reduce until a thickened sauce remains.
- Sprinkle the beans with additional minced parsley and 1-2 ounces crumbled Feta cheese before serving. Serve with bread to sop up the flavorful sauce.
