CHOOSE BEANS THAT ARE BRIGHT GREEN and firm. The
smaller ones will be less fibrous. Top and tail them,
then cut into pieces about 1 1/2-inches long and wash
well. Peel the onions and slice them in thin rounds.
Warm the olive oil, add the onion, garlic, and cook
over a gentle heat for several minutes until the
onions begin to soften. Salt lightly, then add the
beans and cover them with the chopped tomatoes and
herbs. Add several table- spoons tomato juice or
water, cover the pan tightly and cook over medium heat
until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
