Today, I will be sharing my version of the green beans which is really very easy peasy to make and this is my contribution here for those who might be needing one idea on what to do with their green beans. I got freshly harvested green beans from the fresh market in Torrox, Andalusia and I thought of cooking this with simple ingredients. I have two ways to make the beans soft as follows, simply steam the beans until semi soft or cook them directly with other ingredients... sort of in a stir-fry method. When cooked, I topped this with crispy onions that I cooked beforehand. It is better to prepare the ingredients before starting to cook, this way it will be faster to cook this dish.

Green beans are a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, and of folic acid and fiber. Source
