Turkish bean salad

Ingredients for 3 servings:

• 1 kg green beans
• 2 large beefsteak tomatoes
• 2 onions
• ½ cup olive oil, approx. 250 ml each
• salt and pepper
• Sugar
• 0.35 ml water
• 1 ½ tbsp tomato paste

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Wash and dry the beans and tomatoes. Dice the tomatoes and cut the beans into 3-4 cm long pieces. Heat the olive oil in a medium or large saucepan. Meanwhile, finely chop the onions and fry them in the oil for 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients—tomatoes, beans, salt, sugar, pepper, water, and tomato paste—stir well, and bring to a boil briefly. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. I used level 9 to level 3. Cover and simmer for 50-60 minutes. Stir the beans occasionally and then season to taste. They’re ready when they’re completely soft. If you like, you can also add some garlic or even cook the dish with ground pork. Tip: Dissolve the tomato paste in the water beforehand.
