French beans recipe
500 grams of french beans
3 small carrots, diced
5 cloves of garlic
1 small onion, diced
2 tomatoes, grated
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
1/2 a tablespoon of black pepper
Salt to taste
Method
Wash your french beans and carrots and dice them up into small pieces. And set them aside. The smaller you cut them, the neater it looks and the faster it will cook.
Slice your onion and put it in a frying pan with some heated vegetable oil. Add the pepper and let this sautee until the onions are soft.
Add the tomatoes, the tomato paste and the garlic. Mix everything up. Add 1/4 cup of water. Let this simmer for 3 minutes on medium high heat. Add the carrots and let this simmer for about 4 minutes.
Add the french beans and mix them in.
Cover with a lid and let this simmer for about 5 minutes. Do not let these cook for too long since you want to preserve the nutrients, texture and color of the french beans and carrots. Once this is over, remove from the heat and serve.
These french beans and carrots is so easy, but so so good and very healthy.
