Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 tb Olive oil margarine, mixed 1 tb Chopped fresh parsley, opt.
1 c Tomato juice or sauce 2 md Potatoes; peeled
1 lb Fresh green beans Salt freshly ground pepper
- trimmed, cut Chopped fresh mint

Heat the fat in an enameled pan and mix in the tomato juice or sauce. Add
the green beans and parsley to the pan with enough water to almost cover.
Tuck the potato slices in between, partially cover the pan, and simmer for
25 minutes, the stir and season with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons
chopped mint. Cook uncovered until the beans and potatoes are fork tender,
about 10 more minutes. If the sauce has not thickened, pour it into a
small pan, and boil down to one cup, then combine with the beans and
potatoes in a warm serving bowl. Sprinkle with a little additional fresh
mint and serve warm. Excellent with grilled chops, fish or egg dish, but
equally good as a main course with cheese.
