Serves 4
½ cup olive oil
½ large white onion, thinly sliced

1 14.5-oz can fire roasted tomatoes or 2 cups diced tomatoes and their juices
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ tsp. granulated sugar

In a medium pot, over medium low heat, cook the onion and garlic until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the green beans and tomatoes until completely coated in oil.
Add the tomatoes and their juices, 1 tsp. salt, ½ tsp. pepper, and sugar. Pour in ½–¾ cup hot water to the pan and stir.
Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until the water evaporates and the green beans are completely tender, about 35 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve alongside the feta and bread.
