Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds green beans
2 + 1 medium sized onion (divided)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 14 ounces can tomatoes (diced)
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3-4 teaspoons granulated sugar
¼ cup drinking water
a couple of sprigs of fresh dill
3 cloves of garlic (pressed through a garlic press or minced finely)
1 cup plain whole milk (or 2% yogurt)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
¾ teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Trim both ends of green beans by cutting them ¼- ½ inches. Rinse under running water, drain, and set aside.
  • Finely chop 2 of the onions. Peel the other one and leave it as a whole.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven (or any heavy bottom pan) in medium heat.
  • Add in the onion, and stirring occasionally, cook until translucent, 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir in the paste, diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, sugar, and water.
  • Add in the green beans. Give it a gentle stir making sure everything is homogenously distributed in the pan.
  • Place the reserved one onion on the top and put the lid on. Let it come to a boil and turn down to heat to medium-low and cook until the beans are tender, 35-45 minutes. Make sure to give it a gentle stir a couple of times during the cooking process.
  • To make the yogurt sauce: Whisk everything in a bowl, taste for seasoning, and add if necessary.
  • To serve: Place the green beans on a plate and top it off with yogurt sauce and some fresh dill.
