  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         Green beans
   1      medium        Onion -- chopped
   2      each          Chopped tomatoes
   1      teaspoon      Salt
     1/3  cup           Extra virgin olive oil
   3 1/2  teaspoons     Sugar
   1      cup           water

Trim beans & cut into 3 pieces, wash & drain.

 Put onion & tomato into a heavy pan.  Sprinkle with salt & rub in lightly
with fingers.  Stir in the beans, olive oil & sugar, mix well.  Cover & cook
for 15 minutes over medium heat.  Stir occasionally.  The beans will lose
their colour & soften.  When all the moisture has been absorbed, stir-fry the
beans for 2 to 3 minutes.  Add 1/2 cup water, cover & simmer for 40 to 50
minutes, till the beans are tender.  Add more water if necessary, 1/2 cup at
a time.  When cooked, the dish should be very moist but not watery.
Serve cold as part of a buffet.
