- Reviews 2
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans (or frozen whole haricots vert)
- 4 -6 plum tomatoes (4 if large, 6 if small) or 4 -6 roma tomatoes (4 if large, 6 if small)
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried basil or 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried dill or 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Fill a large pot approx 2/3 with water and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes and cook for 30 seconds. Remove with tongs and put in a bowl with cold water. After a few minutes, remove the tomatoes, and peel, core, and finely chop them. (Don't drain the boiling water - you'll want this for the beans).
- Place the oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add the chopped tomato, garlic, and basil. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- While tomatoes are simmering, wash and trim the green beans. Cook in boiling water for 7-10 minutes depending on how small & tender your beans are.
- Drain & briefly rinse the beans. Place in a serving bowl. Pour the tomatoes over the beans and toss to coat. Add salt and black pepper to taste. For best flavor, cover and let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
