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.
  • Add the cooked green beans and heat through for 1 to 2 minutes; mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and top with the basil, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Select Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes and green beans for the best flavor and texture. Opt for high-quality SPAM luncheon meat for a more savory dish.
  • Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more garlic, chili flakes, or herbs if desired. You can also use different types of canned tomatoes, such as diced or crushed, depending on your preference.
  • Control the Heat: Cook the SPAM over medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer for the tomatoes and green beans.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the cooking time to prevent overcooking the vegetables. Green beans should retain their bright green color and slight crunch, while tomatoes should soften but not disintegrate.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, consider garnishing the dish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.

Conclusion:

This simple yet flavorful SPAM with Tomatoes and Green Beans recipe is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger meal.
