Green beans with tomato sauce and olive oil

Ingredients
4 serves
1 kgr green beans
1 big onion peeled and sliced
2 cloves of garlic
2-3 tomatoes peeled and chopped
2 hanfulls of parsley
salt,sugar
1 cup of olive oil

Method
So to make this dish, you have to peeled softly the beans,all around, and to put them in a pan with a great portion of chopped onion and 2 cloves of garlic with 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil.The beans will now saute and the cook must gently mix the food, with a wooden spoon all the ingredients.
After 5 minutes, and when the onion\'s color turn into gold, the cook may add 2-3 peeled and chopped tomatoes, 2 handfuls of well chopped parsley and 1 1/2 tea sp of salt.
The last act that cook has to do, is to add 1 glass of water and to close the top of the pan. Then the food must be cooked in a slow fire for 50-60 minutes. Dont add to much water because the green beans are \"expelling\" the water their body contains , during the cooking, and so if you add too much water the food will be tasteless.
Remember slow fire means TASTY FOOD....

@patty fish<br /> you obviously ask Jamie...but the recipe is mine,so you have to send him an email(probably to the administrator of the site)<br /> anyway....i personally dont clean them with this tool...i use a knife,but its truth that its easier using the one you said...i think you can find it in a supermarket...

Where can I find the string bean cleaner you had on your show? It takes the strings off the sides of the beans and cleans them up as well. Ive looked everywhere and cant find it. Please let me know if you know where I can get one. Thank you.
