Loubieh bzeit (French beans in oil)

Ingredients:
1 kg tender French beans (also called green beans I believe?)
2 onions
10 garlic cloves
1 kg ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons peanut oil
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

Wash the beans then cut them in two. Whiten them 5 mn in boiling water then drain them. Brown the thinly sliced onions and the peeled garlic cloves (whole) in peanut oil. After a few minutes, add the salt and beans. Cover the cooking pot and steam on low heat for 5 mn. Add the diced tomatoes and 1/2 cup boiling water. Allow to stew for half an hour on low heat, covered. Add the olive oil at the end. Serve lukewarm or cold.
