   2      tablespoons   olive oil
   1      medium        onion -- thinly sliced
   2                    garlic cloves -- thinly sliced
   2      pounds        green beans -- ends trimmed
   2      cups          tomato juice
   1 1/2  teaspoons     salt
     1/2  teaspoon      freshly-ground black pepper

Preparation:

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onion and garlic until soft, about 7 minutes. Add the green beans along with the tomato juice, salt and pepper. Stir well, cover and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the beans are tender and wilted, about 30 minutes. Stir in the fresh oregano and cook an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.
