A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender green beans simmered with tomatoes and aromatic vegetables.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the green beans and diced tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper.
Mix well to coat the beans with the tomato mixture.
Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer until the beans are tender.
Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking.
Stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
Adding parsley at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Pair with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
