Braised Potatoes and Green Beans




Source of Recipe


adapted from a book I read years ago






Recipe Introduction


serves 4-6 (ot makes good leftovers). I dont always peel the potatoes if they are washed properly.





List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 2 pounds (about 10) medium red potatoes
  
• 1/2 pound green beans or broad beans (large handful)
  
• 1 tbs (at least) chopped parsley
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp pepper
  
• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  
• 1 1/2 cups veg broth (or more)
  






Instructions



1. Peel and slice potatoes. Cut beans into 1 inch lengths. In a large heavy bottomed skillet (I have also done this in a wok) heat oil over medium heat Add potatoes. Cook, turning occasionally until lightly browned about 8 mins (when I am lazy I parboil or microwave them instead. Then they are not brown but still nice)
   
2. Add beans, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often about 5 minutes until onion softens. Stir in half parsley, salt and pepper.
   
3. Pour in enough broth to just cover the veg (barely. Cover tightly, reduce hear to medium low. Cook 30-40 minutes until liquid is almost completely absorbed.
   
4. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve immediately.
   






Final Comments


If you like the beans less cooked (I do) put them in later. But the potato needs to stew a good while.
