On cold days when we miss hot pot dishes, if you see the last harvest of green beans, do not miss it. Let your pot boil with this delicious source of protein, flavor and vitamins. Don't miss the pilaf and tzatziki. Here you go, bon appetit!
Wash the beans, remove the bones, if any, and cut them in half. (If it is large string beans, chop two finger lengths for food.)
Chop the onions into cubes. Chop the garlic small. Heat the oil and butter in a deep pan and fry the onions and garlic until they turn pink.
Add the coarsely chopped meat to the onions and sauté quickly over high heat. When the meat changes color and turns slightly pink, add the tomato paste, turn it for a couple of turns.
Take the beans you have chopped and rinsed in the pot and fry them together for two or three minutes.
Wash, peel and dice the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes to your fried food and turn it two or three more turns.
Add enough hot water to cover your food by 4-5 inches. Add salt and half a teaspoon (a pinch) of sugar and mix for a turn. When it starts to boil, turn it on low heat and close the lid.
When the beans and meat are very tender, take your cooked food from the fire, let it rest for 10-15 minutes without opening the lid and serve it hot with rice pilaf. Enjoy your meal!
