Another olive oil dish we eat a lot at home. Another dish that is naturally vegan. We cook may vegetables in plenty of olive oil and usually with tomatoes and onions. These dishes can be part of light dinner and lunch but they can also be meze and side dish. For this dish try to find the skinnier green beans, skinnier the better. These olive oil dishes actually perfect to make it ahead because it gets tastier when it waits in the refrigerator after it is cooked. Many people cook olive oil dishes a day before it is served. We serve these dishes warm, cold at room temperature but never too hot. Best is room temperature.
