Wash and trim the beans, then cut into 4-5 cm long pieces. Peel and finely chop the onions. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, let stand briefly, peel, halve, cut out the stems, and dice the flesh, reserving the juice. Combine the prepared vegetables in a saucepan with the tomato juice and tomato paste, olive oil, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 liter of water, stir, then simmer covered over medium heat for about 30 minutes, until the beans are tender. Place the vegetables in a bowl. Wash the lemon, slice it thinly, and place it on top of the beans. Allow the dish to cool. Squeeze the lemon slices before serving, then remove the stems. Serve with white bread and natural yogurt.
