Green Beans Al a Side

This is how my mother cooked green beans. It is still the most delicious way to do them.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  kg green beans, topped and tailed
• 2  potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1  onion, peeled and cut into chunks
•  salt and pepper (to season)

Directions

1. Place potatoes and onions covered in water and bring to the boil for approximately 15 minutes.
2. Add the green beans for 5 minutes more.
3. At this time the potatoes should be very soft.
4. Drain the mixture of all the water.
5. Add seasonings - a lot of pepper is delicious.
6. Then take a fork and mash everything together - just slightly to meld all the flavours but still very chunky.
7. Serve.
