Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or more to taste)
  • 2 lbs red potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1.5 lbs green beans, ends trimmed (20 oz)

Instructions

  • In a large pan or skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is melted add the onion and crushed garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the vegetable stock, spices and diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for ~15 minutes.
  • Add the green beans, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes, until the beans and potatoes are tender. Turn the heat off and cover the pan with the lid for ~5 minutes to let the liquid absorb into the vegetables. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Instead of vegetable stock you could use chicken broth or bone broth (just not if you are vegan).
  2. Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used.
