Ingredients:  
1 1/2 - 2 pounds (800 g.) green beans, cleaned and trimmed
2/3 cup (150 ml) EVOO
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic coves, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes
1 1/2 lbs. fresh tomatoes or 14 oz. can plum tomatoes, chopped
2/3 cup hot water
3-4 T. fresh parsley
s/p
Feta Cheese
Directions:
Directions:
If your beans are very long, cut them in half. Soak in a cold water bath completely submerged for 5-10 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, adding the onion to saute until translucent. Add the garlic, once the garlic becomes aromatic, add the potato cubes and mix a few minutes to distribute the oil and slightly cook. Add the tomatoes and hot water and cook for 5 minutes, drain the beans and rinse once more. Add the beans to the pan, sprinkling some salt and pepper over them. Stir in the beans with the tomatoes and potatoes, cover and let simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley and add a little more water if the sauce looks too dry. Cook about 10 minutes more, or until the beans are as tender as you would like. Serve hot with a slice of feta cheese.
