Green Beans Parmesan

Submitted by breezermom

"These green beans look very pretty with the red and yellow peppers added. Throw in the italian seasonings and you get a great side dish. From an Atlanta real estate company cookbook by Cathryn DuBow. The original recipe called for 1/4 cup vegetable oil, but I thought that was too much."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs fresh green beans, cut in 1-inch pieces
• 1⁄8 cup vegetable oil (I use a bit less)
• 1 cup yellow sweet pepper, diced
• 3⁄4 cup sweet red pepper, diced
• 1⁄4 cup onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1⁄8 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1⁄8 teaspoon dried whole thyme
• 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
• 3⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated and divided

directions

1. Cook the green beans in boiling water to cover for 3 minutes; drain, and plunge into cold water. Drain well, and set aside.
2. Pour oil into a large skillet; place over medium heat until hot. Add sweet peppers, onion, and garlic, and saute for 3 minutes. Add the reserved green beans, basil, and next 3 ingredients; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Transfer bean mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.

This is a fabulous recipe. The fresh peppers and thyme contributed a lot of flavor to the dish. and it's so easy to prepare. I'm quite happy to have found this recipe. I'll know I'll make it again. Thank you, breezermom.

Very tasty and different than plain green beans. Left the beans whole, and sliced onions and peppers in long strips. Due to health considerations, I used just a few shakes of cheese. Will make this again when I want to impress company (or just the family).

This was a wonderful side dish! I used 1/2 an onion and had to leave out the yellow pepper - the store didn't have any that day. Definitely put on the cheese!! Made for Everyday's a Holiday Game 2014.

This was just okay - not great. The parmesan cheese clumped when added.

This was just stellar. I would give it more stars if I could. I used one orange pepper and ended up using only 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. I could have eaten the whole thing. I can't wait to make this again. I love the way the cheese melted and kinda binded bits together. Yum!
