Green beans in tomato salsa

Servings 4
Description

My Greek Mediterranean green bean stew cooked in tomato salsa/sofrito and fresh herbs. So tasty and such an easy way to get your 5 serves of veg!

 

You can cook any veggies in sofrito e.g cauliflower, peas, eggplant. You can also add a can of drained butter beans for extra protein for a vegan meal.
