GREEN BEANS WITH TOMATOES AND CRISPY BREADCRUMBS



Green Beans with Tomatoes and Crispy Breadcrumbs image

Fresh, snappy late-summer beans are a fleeting pleasure on their own. Jazz them up with the sweet acidity of large cherry and cocktail tomatoes and crackly breadcrumbs, and lightning strikes three times. The winning combination is cookbook author Sarah Copeland's go-to side for grilled skirt steak, charred lamb chops, or pan-seared white fish. The layers of colors and crisp and juicy textures effortlessly upgrade any main.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and nutrients. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use ripe cherry tomatoes: Ripe cherry tomatoes are sweet and flavorful. Look for tomatoes that are red, plump, and free of blemishes.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes: Halving the cherry tomatoes helps to release their juices and flavor. You can also quarter the tomatoes if desired.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Season the green beans and tomatoes: Season the green beans and tomatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Sauté the green beans and tomatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, green beans, and tomatoes. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the tomatoes are softened.
  • Serve the green beans and tomatoes: Serve the green beans and tomatoes immediately as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Green beans and cherry tomatoes are a delicious and healthy combination. This recipe is a great way to enjoy these vegetables. The green beans are tender and flavorful, and the cherry tomatoes add a burst of sweetness. This dish is also very easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes.
