This is a spring time favorite, and pretty simple to make.

ingredients

  • 1 kg green beans
  • 0.5-1kg potatoes (adjust ratio to beans to your liking)
  • 2 carrots
  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • 1-2 onions
  • ~10 gr salt
  • olive or sunflower oil

You can add aubergines, zucchini, peas.

Preparation

  • wash, clean and cut the beans and potatoes
  • chop the onions and carrots, and saute them for 5-10 minutes
  • once they are golden, add the beans and cook for a few minutes, then add the potatoes and keep cooking for 10-15 minutes.
  • add the salt and seasoning (I used dry mint leaves, which is nice)
  • toward the end add the tomatoes. I normally grate them straight in, but you could also chop them. Cook for a couple minutes.
  • transfer from the stove pot to a baking tray or preferably an earthen pot
  • if using a tray, cover with aluminum foil. If your earthen pot has a lid, close it
  • bake for 1h:20m
  • take off the cover and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until nicely baked on top
  • serve with fresh bread
