Beans And Tomatoes

Here's a great use for the summer's fresh produce.

bullet1 pound green beans or yellow beans, cleaned and with ends removed
bullet2 large tomatoes, sliced
bullet1 small onion, finely chopped
bullet6 large basil leaves, torn in small pieces
bullet1 tsp dried oregano
bulletSalt and pepper to taste.
bullet2 Tbsp olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat and add the onions. Cook until they are well wilted, but not brown. Add the beans and continue cooking for another five minutes.

Layer the sliced tomatoes over the beans and onions, salt and pepper to your taste, and cover the skillet. Lower heat and cook covered for half an hour. Uncover, add the oregano and basil and cook another five minutes. Serve hot as a side dish, then add vinegar to what's left and serve cold the next day as a salad.
