The Green Bean

Maybe you have to eat vegetables today or maybe you’ve decided on a healthier option or just maybe, you, like me, are a fan of the slinky legume. Whatever the case, here is a quick and easy recipe to enjoy the green bean which by the way is also known as French beans or snap beans.
-          Heat two teaspoons of oil
-          Add half a sliced onion
-          Once the onion looks transparent, turn down the heat and add in the green beans. ( I usually use frozen, sliced green beans, am sure the fresh variety is probably best, but hey I did say quick and easy)
-          Add to the pot: 1 pinch chilli powder
                             1 pinch turmeric powder 
-          Close the pot lid and let this cook for around 10 minutes.
-          Add in one chopped tomato and allow green beans to cook for a further 10 minutes.
-          EAT!
Tastes best with pita bread.  ( I got these at Pick n Pay)
