Directions
-
Heat the mixture of olive oil and margarine in a large enameled pan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
-
Stir in the tomato juice or sauce and bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Add the fresh green beans and enough water to almost cover the vegetables.
-
Slice the peeled potatoes and tuck them between the green beans in the pan.
-
Partially cover the pan and simmer for 25 minutes, allowing the potatoes to start softening.
-
Stir the mixture gently and season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
-
Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint and continue cooking uncovered until the beans and potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 more minutes.
-
If the sauce is too thin, transfer it to a small pan and boil down until reduced to one cup.
-
Combine the thickened sauce with the beans and potatoes in a warm serving bowl.
-
Sprinkle with additional fresh mint and serve warm alongside grilled fish, chops, or as a main course with cheese.
