My New Favorite Green Beans - Greek Style

I am obsessed with these green beans. My friend Maria's dad made them for us with green beans from his garden and they were amazing. I've been making them every week with green beans from the farmers market. They are delicious!

Per Maria's suggestion I added some chili flakes. I used only one onion, roughly a pound of beans, and then basically did everything else to the measurements given. I'm a sucker for sauce. I also added some slivered garlic. Next time I want to try adding the Yukon Gold potatoes.

Thank you Maria!!!
