- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming the ends of the green beans and cutting them into approximately 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is heated, add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the canned tomatoes and their juice to the saucepan, crushing them slightly with a spoon to break them up.
Step 5
Stir in the tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil to the mixture. Allow it to cook together for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Add the prepared green beans to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the tomato sauce.
Step 7
Pour in the water, bring the mixture to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the green beans are tender but not mushy.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper according to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for added freshness.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish or a main, accompanied by other paleo-friendly options.
