Comment	A nice change and Greek to boot.

Ingredients

1 small finely chopped onion
1/4 cup butter (or use olive oil)
1 pound green beans(fresh - adapt for frozen)
1 minced garlic clove
1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves (1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup water
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Saute the onion in butter or oil until golden brown. Wash and trim the beans. Cut into 2 inch lengths. Add to onions and saute, stirring constantly, until the beans have turned bright green. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes, or until beans are tender.
Makes 4-6 servings.

I made this with frozen wax beans. If they are thawed, it works just fine.
