Slow-Cooked Green and Yellow Beans

• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 very large yellow onion, minced
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
• Two 2-ounce cans anchovies in oil, drained and chopped
• 1/2 cup capers, drained and rinsed
• 3 1/2 pounds mixed green and yellow beans, such as romano, yellow wax and green beans
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• Salt
• Freshly ground pepper

1. In a very large pot, heat the olive oil.
2. Add the onion and garlic, cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes, anchovies and capers, cover and cook over moderate heat until the tomatoes just begin to break down, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the mixed beans and lemon zest, cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Add 1/2 cup of water, cover and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are very tender and beginning to fall apart, about 45 minutes; add more water if the beans become too dry.
6. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper and serve.
