Green Beans Jazzed with Tomato

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1 inch pieces

¼ cup butter

¼ cup finely chopped onion

1 small clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon light brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

1/8 teaspoon pepper

2 medium tomatoes cut up

Steam the green beans until crisp-tender, or boil in salted water for about 15 to 18 minutes.  While beans are cooking melt butter in skillet, add onion and garlic; cook and stir over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes.  Stir in brown sugar, lemon juice, salt, oregano, and pepper.  Add tomatoes.  Heat thoroughly.  Drain the green beans, then add the tomato mixture to them and gently toss.
