Method
- 1
Trim the green beans and peel and cube the potatoes. Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic.
- 2
Warm the olive oil in a wide pan and soften the onion for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and dried oregano for 1 minute.
- 3
Add the tinned chopped tomatoes, green beans and potatoes, season well and pour in 150ml water.
- 4
Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans and potatoes are completely soft and the sauce has thickened.
- 5
Uncover for the last 5 minutes to let any excess liquid bubble away; the dish should be glossy with oil rather than watery.
- 6
Scatter with chopped parsley and serve warm with bread to mop up the sauce.
