Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 more minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Green Beans

    Add the trimmed green beans to the pot and stir well to combine with the tomato mixture.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the green beans are tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if necessary. Serve warm.
