--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      lb            Fresh green beans
   1 1/2  c             Oil
   2      md            Onions -- minced
   1 1/2  lb            Tomatoes -- peeled,
                        - strained -OR-
   1      tb            Tomato paste -- plus:
   2      c             Water
   2      tb            Parsley -- minced
                        Salt & pepper -- to taste
                        Water -- as needed

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 medium heat until liquid is absorbed but the oil remains, 30 to
45 minutes.
