Grandma'S Lebanese Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans, break in half and remove stems
1 small onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce (I think grandma used Prego's Old World style)
1 cup water
1 vine ripened tomatoes, diced
salt and pepper (don't skimp on the salt)

Preparation

In a medium sized saucepan, saute the garlic and onions in olive oil until the onions become translucent.
Add the beans, cover, and allow them to steam in their own moisture for about 15 minutes.
Add 1 cup water, tomatoes, tomato sauce, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
