Green beans stewed with tomatoes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can use fresh tomatoes, but only juicy varieties. Instead of fresh tomatoes, canned ones or tomato paste will work. If you have other vegetables on hand, try adding some—they'll make the dish very nutritious and varied. Serve the beans warm or cold. Serve hot.
