Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it well.

2. 2

   Boil the green beans until just tender with a little bite left, 6-8 min. Drain.

3. 3

   Warm the extra-virgin olive oil in a wide pan over medium-low heat.

4. 4

   Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring now and then, until soft and translucent, about 5 min.

5. 5

   Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

6. 6

   Pour in the chopped tomatoes and simmer gently until the sauce thickens a little, about 10 min.

7. 7

   Add the green beans and stir to coat them. Cover partly and simmer until the beans are fully tender and the sauce clings to them, 8-10 min. Add a splash of water if the pan gets dry.

8. 8

   Fish out the garlic, stir in the oregano and taste for salt.

9. 9

   Serve warm or at room temperature.
