Potatoes, Green Beans and Olives

So we're coming up to the end of what I like to call 'the warm weather recipes'. Autumn is beginning to kick in now in the UK and so my attention turns to soups and stews. However, I wanted to share this lovely one pot recipe from Hugh Fearnley-Wittingstall. Nothing fancy here really - just potatoes for carb, beans for veg, and olives and garlic for flavour. You could also add halloumi if you wanted a bit of protein/a heavier dish.

Serves 2 - 3

Ingredients
500g potatoes (preferably new)
200g green beans
3-4 cloves garlic (to your taste)
200g olives
Lemon juice
Basil (fresh or dried)
Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes for about 8 minutes until soft. Trim the green beans and add in half way through.

2. Meanwhile, crush garlic and fry with olives in oil on a low heat.

3. Drain potatoes and beans once cooked, return to the hot pan, and add the garlic, olives, and oil. Add  a squeeze of the lemon juice, fresh or dried basil to your tastes,, and some salt and pepper to taste.
