We place a large non-stick pot or casserole over medium heat and drizzle the oil. Once it heats up, after about 1’ we add the onions, sauteing for about 3’. Then we add the garlic, and we sauté for further 2’.
Add the tomato paste and allow to cook for a minute or so. Then add the tomatoes, all the spices/herbs, season with the salt and pepper and mix well.
Add the fresh beans, pour the water, and toss to get well coated. Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Simmer with the lid on for 45’ for the beans to soften but still be a bit crunchy while also aiming for the liquids to be absorbed and a nice sauce to be created. If needed add some more water.
Remove from the heat, taste and season if needed. Serve, optionally sprinkling with the black Sesame seeds.
