1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

ITALIAN FLAT GREEN BEANS WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC



Italian Flat Green Beans With Tomatoes and Garlic image

Another reason to celebrate long hot humid days of summer. This dish is reminiscent of an Italian method of cooking green beans with tomatoes for a long time, which was especially good for tenderizing tough, old beans. From the Miami Herald.

Provided by Busters friend

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb green beans, cut on the diagonal into 3-inch pieces (Italian flat, Romano)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 medium garlic cloves, cut into very thin slices (a 1/4 cup)
1 tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice (8ounces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
6 -8 basil leaves, cut into chiffonade (stacked, then rolled tightly and cut into very thin strips, optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Drain immediately.
  • While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a medium sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the garlic slices, distributing them evenly. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the slices become almost translucent and start to brown on the edges; be careful not to let the garlic burn.
  • Add the diced tomato and salt and pepper to taste, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, so that the tomato is heated through.

  • Trim the green beans: Remove the stem end and any tough strings from the beans. You can also cut the beans into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: The quality of the tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of the sauce. Choose tomatoes that are red, ripe, and free of blemishes.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Cook the sauce until it is thickened: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the green beans. If the sauce is too thin, continue to simmer it until it reaches the desired consistency.
