Green beans recipe

A recipe for green beans in tomato sauce, with boiled potatoes in white wine vinegar + cheese:

You need...

* 1 onion chopped finely
* Chopped garlic
* Olive oil
* Green beans, lots of, with ends cut off and washed
* 'Baby' potatoes, bag of (these usually are sold washed)
* White wine vinegar
* Feta cheese diced (or something like Cheshire if you hate Feta!)
* Tin chopped tomatoes
* Brown sugar (only a tad - maybe 1/4 of a teaspoon)

How to prepare...

1. Before anything, steam the beans to soften them up, then drain
2. Boil the potatoes

--when the spuds are about ready to eat go to step 3--

3. In another pan, sautee the onions and garlic until onion goes golden
4. Throw in the beans and stir about a bit
5. Pour in some of the tomato - you decide, but don't drown the onions completely. About 50-50 is ok
6. Toss in the brown sugar and heat it all up
7. Drain the now cooked spuds, then drizzle them in white wine vinegar (but don't go too mad!) and throw in the cheese chunks. Stir.

8. Dish it all out and eat

My grandad Joe worked at an engineering works in Middleton, Leeds. He used to bring home big wads of blueprints so that I could draw on the reverse. These had a strong musty, metallic, and inky smell.
