Turkish style green beans
There is a category of dishes called "Zeytinyağlılar" in Turkish cuisine. The name roughly translates to "those (cooked) with olive oil". Mostly they are vegetable dishes and are served cold. Not only are they very tasty and healthy, they are also relatively easy to prepare.
So here is a very easy recipe for Zeytinyağlı Fasulye, i.e. green beans with olive oil.
Green beans with olive oil, Turkish style
-one 16oz pack of whole or cut frozen green beans (not French cut)
-one medium size white onion
-one 12oz can of chopped or diced tomatoes
-three to eight tablespoons of olive oil
Chop the onion. Put all ingredients in a large pot and stir to mix evenly. Add water until ingredients are barely covered. Add 1-2 teaspoons of salt. Put on high heat until boiling starts, then set heat to medium. Cook until beans are soft.
You can eat this dish warm, but it's traditionally eaten cold. So the next day you just take it out of the fridge and serve. Bon apetite!
