2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 (28 ounce) can peeled whole tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instruções

Get ready. Preheat your oven to 300°F.

Soften the onions. In a large Dutch oven, heat half of the olive oil over medium. Add the onion and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring regularly.

Simmer the beans. Add tomatoes, water, bay leaf, green beans beans, and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a high simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cover and transfer to the heated oven. Cook until the sauce slightly thickens, and the beans and potatoes can easily be cut with side of your fork; about 35 minutes or so. (It’s a good idea to check once partway through cooking, add a little bit of water if needed.)

Season and serve. Remove from oven and stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and remaining olive oil. Enjoy!
