Absolutely delicious! However, I did decrease the oil to 1/4 cup as it seemed excessive to me. Although this dish tasted great, I was a little disappointed with the appearance - after cooking for so long both the green beans and the tomatoes lost too much color for me. I added about a tbsp. of tomato paste to boost the tomato flavor. Next time I will cook the "sauce" for a while and toss in some steamed green beans to see if they retain their bright green color. Appearance was the only thing holding me back from giving this one 5 stars.

This was a nice way to use frozen green beans from the garden. My husband said he would like to try this recipe again with green beans straight from the garden, not frozen. We used petite diced canned tomatoes for convenience...no fresh tomatoes on hand.

I was looking for a health way to eat green beans and found this recipe. I made a couple of adjustments to the recipe. I used only 1 tsp of Olive oil and added fennel seed, ground mustard and crusted red pepper. It was very tasty and something that I will make again.

I don't love green beans, but I loved them in this recipe. I would only clarify that if you cover the dish while it's simmering, it will cook faster. Delicious.

Good recipe, however, in Greece we tend to sautee the diced onions in oil first and add some crushed parsley. Then add the green beans, and tomato juice with diced tomatoes, for 5 minutes. (salt&pepper) Then add water just enough to cover the green beans and boil for 50 minutes till the sauce is thick. This makes the green beans softer. Serve with feta cheese and bread for that extra something! Perfect.

I loved this recipe; wonderfully simple and so very tasty. I also added oregano like another reviewer stated and used canned tomatoes. Make sure to have some crusty bread on hand to soak up the sauce.

This dish reminds me of my grandma's cooking. It's one of those classic Greek vegetarian dishes that tastes better the next day (after all the flavours have blended). In Greece it would be eaten at room temperature. I love to crumble some Feta on top and eat it as a main course with some crusty bread to sop up the juices. With a glass of dry white wine, what could be better? Yum!

Yuck, I won't be making these again! For all the time and preparation involved the end result was not worth it! These were too oily (had to drain them before serving!), didn't have enough flavor (in spite of the extra garlic and black pepper I put in) and 45 minutes wasn't long enough to make the beans tender enough for my taste.

Delicious! Made this recipe as a side dish for Christmas dinner and it was a hit. A nice alternative to the traditional creamy green bean dish most serve. A great addition would be toasted slivered almonds on top after serving. I would make this again.
