 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      pound         Green beans
    1      medium        Onion -- chopped
    2      each          Chopped tomatoes
    1      teaspoon      Salt
      1/3  cup           Extra virgin olive oil
    3 1/2  teaspoons     Sugar
    1      cup           water
 
 Trim beans & cut into 3 pieces, wash & drain.
 
  Put onion & tomato into a heavy pan.  Sprinkle with salt & rub in lightly
 with fingers.  Stir in the beans, olive oil & sugar, mix well.  Cover & cook
 for 15 minutes over medium heat.  Stir occasionally.  The beans will lose
 their colour & soften.  When all the moisture has been absorbed, stir-fry the
 beans for 2 to 3 minutes.  Add 1/2 cup water, cover & simmer for 40 to 50
 minutes, till the beans are tender.  Add more water if necessary, 1/2 cup at
 a time.  When cooked, the dish should be very moist but not watery.
 Serve cold as part of a buffet.
