Instructions
0 Heat the oil in a medium-size saute pan or a heavy bottom pan (such as a Dutch oven) over medium-high heat. 1 Add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. 2 Stir in the tomato paste and garlic and cook for another minute or so. 3 Add the diced tomatoes, green beans, kosher salt, black pepper, and sugar. 4 Give it a gentle stir to ensure that the green beans and tomatoes are evenly distributed in the pan. Put the lid on, bring it to a boil, turn the heat to medium-low, and cook until the beans are softened but still tender, 35-45 minutes. Be sure to stir it a few times during the cooking process. 5 Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Stir in the dill and serve with yogurt and lemon wedges on the side.View original recipe
