Greek Stewed Green Beans with Tomatoes

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 large garlic cloves, minced

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, or 1½ cups peeled, chopped tomatoes

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or vinegar

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a wide, covered skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the green beans and remaining oil. Stir together for a few minutes, then add the tomatoes and ½ cup water. Bring to a simmer, then add salt and freshly ground pepper.
Cover and simmer 30 minutes until the beans are tender and the mixture is stew-like. Add the herbs, and simmer for another five to 10 minutes. Add lemon juice or vinegar. Taste, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.
