GREEK GREEN BEANS BRAISED WITH MINT AND POTATOES
A different way to fix green beans; the mint gives it some real zest. Excellent as a side dish with grilled chops, fish or eggs, or as a main dish sprinkled with feta or soft white cheese. From The Food of Greece by V. Liacouras chantiles.

Steps:
- Combine olive oil and margarine in a non-reactive pan; heat through (can adjust oil/margarine ratio to personal preference, just have 3 Tbsp total).
- Add tomato juice or sauce, green beans, parsley and enough water to almost cover.
- Tuck the potato slices in between, partially cover pan with lid, and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Stir and season with salt, pepper, and 2 Tbsp chopped mint.
- Cook uncovered until green beans and potatoes are fork tender, about 10 more minutes.
- If the sauce has not thickened, pour it into a small pan, and reduce to one cup, then combine with the beans and potatoes in a warm serving bowl.
- Sprinkle with a little additional fresh mint and serve warm.
