Fassoulia

A very easy vegetable dish that improves in flavour the next day, and keeps well in the freezer. Add some cooked diced carrot for a 'sweet' flavour and some coriander and/or cumin.

• Ready In: 52 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1  large onion, chopped
• 1 -2  tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. Gently fry the onion in the olive oil for about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the frozen beans (do not add water).
3. On a low heat let the beans slowly cook turning the beans regularly as they defrost.
4. The water from the beans is enough to keep the bottom of the pan covered in liquid (but keep an eye on it though).

6. Bring to the boil.
7. Serve with plain basmati rice.
