Method

1. Heat the oil in a large, wide frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the onion and garlic for 4-5 mins until softening. Toss through the green beans and cook for 3-4 mins more until bright green and starting to blister in places.

2. Add the cinnamon (if using) and tinned tomatoes. Bring to a brisk bubble and braise over a medium heat for 30-40 mins, stirring occasionally, or until the beans are very tender and the sauce has reduced to just coat them.
