Ouma se Groenboontjies met Aartappel en Uie
Serves 6 15 min prep 35 min cook
Old-fashioned South African green beans cooked soft with potatoes, onion and butter — just like Ouma made them for Sunday lunch.
Ingredients
- 500 g green beans, trimmed and sliced
- 500 g potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 40 g butter
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, optional
- salt and black pepper to taste
Method
- Place the green beans, potatoes and onion in a saucepan and cover with lightly salted water.
- Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until very tender.
- Drain well.
- Add the butter and nutmeg.
- Mash roughly so that some texture remains.
- Season with salt and black pepper and serve warm.
