Instructions

Snap off the stem ends of the beans and cut them in halves if using fine French beans.
If you use a wider variety such as Romano beans or Pantheon beans, split them in half lengthways after snapping the stems off then cut them into 2-3 pieces.
Place a Dutch oven or heavy-based pan on low heat, add olive oil and gently cook the onions along with the garlic until soft and translucent.
Add the tomato paste (optional) and cook for a minute before adding the tomatoes.
Turn the heat up to medium then add the beans, salt, sugar, freshly ground black pepper, and water (if using).
Bring the pan to a boil, lower the heat and gently simmer for an hour or until the beans are soft.
Leave it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
