Turkish Green Bean Stew

Snap the ends off the green beans and remove any strings. Break into 4-5 cm pieces. Wash and drain.

Finely dice the onion. Grate or dice the tomatoes.

Heat olive oil in a wide pot. Saute onions until translucent.

Add pepper paste and stir for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they release their juices.

Add the green beans and stir. Pour in water and add salt. Once boiling, reduce to low heat.

Simmer with the lid slightly ajar for 40-45 minutes until beans are tender. Serve with rice pilaf.
