The ingredients for Sonja's Beans are:

A big pile of beans (topped and tailed) depending on how hungry you are.
1 or 2 medium tomatoes, chopped coarsely.
Garlic (I like lots maybe 2-3 cloves) crushed or finely minced.
1/2 a small onion, finely chopped.
Fresh Parsley or dried herbs (oregano is good) or both.
Black pepper and salt.

Here is how you make Sonja's Beans:

Cook garlic and onion in a saucepan (you can use oil, I save my fat serve for something else and justsautee them in a little water) until soft.Add the green beans and the chopped tomatoes as well as any dried herbs you have decided on. Stir.Add a little bit of water - like 1/4 cup (depends how many beans you have used) or enough to get somebubble action.Add pepper and salt and stir.Turn the heat down so that things are bubbling lightly to moderately. It doesn't really matter because itis not like you can make the beans tough or anything.Keep watch for between 30-45 mins. Stir as needed.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BATHSHEBA.
