Mom's Greek String Beans image

My favorite green beans! My Greek mother and grandmother made these with roast lamb since I can remember. It's surprising how just four ingredients can taste so Greek! added my picture where I used a pound of frozen French sliced green beans and diced tomatoes.

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but this recipe changed my mind. They were so flavorful and tender.

The beans were a little overcooked, but the flavor was still good.

This was a bit too oily for my taste.
