  CHOOSE BEANS THAT ARE BRIGHT GREEN and firm. The
  smaller ones will be less fibrous. Top and tail them,
  then cut into pieces about 1 1/2-inches long and wash
  well. Peel the onions and slice them in thin rounds.
  Warm the olive oil, add the onion, garlic, and cook
  over a gentle heat for several minutes until the
  onions begin to soften. Salt lightly, then add the
  beans and cover them with the chopped tomatoes and
  herbs. Add several table- spoons tomato juice or
  water, cover the pan tightly and cook over medium heat
  until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
