Green Beans, Zucchini, and Tomatoes - YUM!

My mom is one of the best cooks. She has so many amazing dishes that I have a hard time picking my favorites. This is from the Greek side of the family and not only healthy, but really easy to make. 

You'll need:

1 lb Fresh Green Beans
1 can Whole Tomatoes
1 Medium Zucchini 
1/2 Chopped Onions (I like a lot)
1 Clove of Garlic
Olive Oil
Oregano, Salt, and Pepper


Start by cooking your green beans with salt, until firm (about 20 minutes). Drain. 


Add a little oil, chopped onions, and a clove of garlic to a deep pan and simmer.

Now dump in 1 can of whole or diced tomatoes (I prefer whole tomatoes) and swish the can with water. Add spices, green beans, and cover.


Simmer until color becomes a deeper red (at least 30 min) then add zucchini. Cook/simmer for 10 or so more minutes.


While this dish is amazing straight out of the pot, it usually tastes even better the next day. So even though it might be tempting, put this bad boy into the fridge until tomorrow. Trust me, it's totally worth the wait.

ENJOY! <3
