- Meanwhile, heat 1tbsp oil in a saucepan and gently cook the onion, stirring, occasionally for about 15 mins until tender. Mix in the beans and plenty of seasoning and heat through, stirring, for 3-4 mins.
- Just before serving, mix the remaining oil with the lemon juice and sugar. Remove the beans from the heat and stir in the tomatoes and rocket.
