Green Beans + Tomatoes

I make this all the time - it works as well with sage instead of the basil.
I have also used those really wide greenbeans and they were very good.
We got the original recipe from Italy Anywhere - but use it to make a variety of
dishes now...substituting okra for the beans, etc...
Mike

1 Lb ripe tomatoes (have used canned)

1 onion coarsely chopped (i like to slice it thin)
1 Lb fresh stringbeans
handful of basil
S&P
+ Peel tomatoes
+ Sautee onions until lightly golden (5 mins)
+ Add greenbeans, stir for a few minutes to coat with oil
+ Reduce heat to low - handcrush tomatoes and add - add basil, S&P
+ Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, adding water if necessary (lost crunch but still firm)
