Ingredients

1 lb. green beans

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp. oil

3 large tomatoes, ripe

1 tbsp. tomato puree

1/2 cup hot water

salt

pepper, to taste

Preparation

Put the tomatoes in a bowl and cover with boiling water.

Leave them for 30-60 seconds, or until the skins have split.

Using a fork, remove the tomatoes from the water.

When they have cooled enough to handle, peel and chop the tomatoes.

Fry the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until they are fragrant and the onions are translucent.

In a crockpot, pour the contents of the skillet, green beans, tomatoes, tomato puree, salt, pepper, and water.

Cook covered for 2-3 hours, or until the beans are tender.
