Green beans stew
This meal can be both a side dish or a full meal by itself. It is simple, very cheap and super tasty. Boil the green beans separately in salty water until they get tender. Saute an onion, add some green or red pepper, add some garlic and some crushed tomatoes and pour over the beans with some liquid. No strict quantities are necessary, just use as many veggies or liquid as you would like. Let them boil for 10 min together, season with more salt, pepper and parsley. Fresh and healthy!

Add coconut milk and some crushed tomatoes and it is ready to be served next to your favorite steak.
