What it needs
Nothing confirmed on your shelf yet — this list is the whole ask.
- green beans
- potato
- tomato
- onion
- olive oil
Good if you have them, fine if you do not: oregano.
Method
- Onion in a generous amount of olive oil, then tomato cooked down until the oil separates.
- Beans and potato in with a splash of water, lid on, and left far longer than a modern recipe allows — forty minutes.
- They should be completely soft and olive-drab. Crisp-tender green beans here are a different and worse dish.
- More raw oil and lemon off the heat. Better warm than hot, and better tomorrow.

Why each of these is on the list
What the ingredients are actually doing
- green beans
- They want either a very short cook or a very long one.
- potato
- Waxy holds its shape, floury falls apart, and almost every potato complaint is the wrong one for the job.
- tomato
- Sweet, sour and savory at once, which is why it holds up so many dishes with no meat in them.
- onion
- The base under most of this library.
- olive oil
- Two ingredients sharing a name.
