Reader “Rucksack Rob” kindly sent us his recipe for Long-Cooked Green Beans with Tomatoes and Garlic. This is a very simple recipe that’s good especially in late summer after your garden harvest but also any time of year.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin Olive Oil
- ¼ cup minced Yellow Onion (or a little more, if you’d like)
- 3 cloves Garlic, thinly sliced (or less, to taste.)
- 1-1/2 lbs of Green Beans, ends trimmed
- 3 lg. ripe Tomatoes, chopped (and seeded if you’d like )
- Salt, to taste
- black pepper – freshly coarse ground, to taste
- Parmesan Cheese
Directions
- In a skillet over a medium heat, warm the oil
- Add Onions and cook until soft, stirring occasionally… 7-10 minutes
- Add Garlic and continue stirring…1 minute
- Add Green Beans and tomatoes over low heat until soft, about 20-25 minutes
- Season with Salt and generous amount of Black Pepper
- Simmer until liquid is gone… 3-5 minutes
- Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese, fresh shredded (can be omitted)
Alternate Ideas:
I like my green beans a little crispier so I only cook mine for about 12 minutes – test bite to your taste…
If you wish, spice it up a little more with a shake or two of Red Pepper Flakes during the cooking… not too much, though!
Serving:
Serve hot.
