Saute the onion in 2 tbsp olive oil until soft before adding the tomatoes and spices. Cook gently until the tomatoes start to break up and then add the puree, the other 2 tbsp oil and a little water if the sauce seems too thick. Season well.
Add the green beans and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until cooked but still crunchy, adding a little water if necessary.
Finally stir in the honey and the broad beans and simmer for a further 5 minutes, at which point the sauce should be quite thick. Serve with a fruity couscous with fresh herbs.
