Think green beans are boring? Not like this. Onions and olive oil. Beans go in. Grated tomatoes, garlic, sugar, salt. Lid on. Low heat. While that cooks, I toast vermicelli in butter with full good. Just enough water on the side. Homemade yogurt with cucumber, garlic, mint, and olive oil. Fresh, simple, comforting, and so satisfying. Full recipe in the caption below.
