    3      pounds        Green beans -- fresh
    1 1/2 cups          Oil
    2      each          Onions, med. -- minced
    1 1/2 pounds        Tomatoes, peeled -- strained OR

Wash beans and break them in half or slice them lengthwise. Place in a large
pot of cold water. Heat the oil in a large pot and saute the onions in it
until soft and limp; add the tomatoes (or diluted tomato paste), and bring to
boil. Drain the beans and add them to pot. Add parsley, salt & pepper, and
enough water to barely cover beans. Cook over med.
heat until liquid is absorbed but the oil remains (30 to 45 min.).
