Method

  1. Prepare the beans

    Wash the beans, trim the ends and strings, then split lengthways in half and chop.

  2. Cook the onions

    Soften the sliced onions and garlic in the olive oil.

  3. Layer

    Add the beans, then the diced tomatoes on top, along with the sugar and salt. Pour in the hot water without stirring.

  4. Simmer gently

    Cover and cook on the lowest heat until the beans are completely soft, shaking the pan now and then. Serve cold.

Tips

  • The vegetables release water anyway, so start with a little.
  • The sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes. It will not taste sweet.

Storage

Keeps in the fridge for 4 days.
