Oil of choice 2 Tbs.(olive oil preferably)
Salt and peper to taste.
Tomatoes 5 ,cut up

String,cut and wash green beans well .Then cook in boiling water till tender. Drain.
Pour oil in large frying pan or wok, when warm add grated onion and saute until transparent. Add spices , mustard and vinegar.Immediately add green beans , blending in all ingredients.Now add tomatoes and mix.Let simmer for 5 minutes on high flame then turn heat off. Can be served at room temp, or cold.

i have a very similar recipe it's zeytinyagli taze fasuliye,it's turkish and you'll find this recipe wherever people eat siyamy!you just put all the ingredients together (the libyan rassa ta7t bata),but u peel and dice your tomatoes,and you add a teaspoon of sugar to break the acidity. Black pepper and that's it.cook slowly until it's done and u keep your vitamins and minerals in the dish!we sa7teen.this is my turkish grandma recipe.It applies to many vegetables(green beans done the same way are a delight,just add dill at the end).
