Hungarian-Style Potatoes and Green Beans

1 cup red potatoes, halved and sliced

1 cup fresh green bean

1/2 cup onion, quartered and sliced

1 tsp sun-dried tomato, rehydrated and chopped

1 tsp fresh parsley

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp butter

dash paprika

 

  1. Place the potatoes and green bean in a microwave-bowl. Add a small amount of water. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and continue to microwave on high for 1 minute more. Let stand for 1 minute.
  3. Discard water and empty vegetables into the bowl. Toss with the tomato, parsley, olive oil, butter, and paprika. Serve with your meal.  Enjoy!!
