Ingredients
- 500 grams fine beans
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 2 tomatoes grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Rinse the beans. Cut off a small bit from both ends. Then cut vertically if flat and wide. If long cut into half in the middle.
- Grate the onions or use a food processor.
- Grate the tomatoes or use a food processor.
- Put all the ingredients at once in a pressure cooker or a pot.
- Mix well to blend.
- Start cooking for about 8 minutes until everything is well combined and the beans are some what sautéed. This will help you get all the flavors of everything; the sweetness of the beans and the aroma of the tomatoes.
- If the tomato has left some water, additional water is not necessary. If not add water just enough to cover the bottom.
- Cover the lid. Cook until the beans are done.
- This dish gets better the next day. Keep in the fridge and serve cold as a side dish.
