Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tb Olive oil & margarine, mixed
1 c Tomato juice or sauce
1 lb Fresh green beans
-- trimmed, cut
1 tb Chopped fresh parsley, opt.
2 md Potatoes -- peeled
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh mint

Heat the fat in an enameled pan and mix in the tomato
juice or sauce. Add the green beans and parsley to the
pan with enough water to almost cover. Tuck the potato
slices in between, partially cover the pan, and simmer
for 25 minutes, the stir and season with salt, pepper,
and 2 tablespoons chopped mint. Cook uncovered until
the beans and potatoes are fork tender, about 10 more
minutes. If the sauce has not thickened, pour it into
a small pan, and boil down to one cup, then combine
with the beans and potatoes in a warm serving bowl.
Sprinkle with a little additional fresh mint and serve
warm. Excellent with grilled chops, fish or egg dish,
but equally good as a main course with cheese.
