Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces yellow wax beans and/or green beans, trimmed
2 small tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 6-ounce cod fillets (1 to 1 1/2 inch thick)

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

2 cups fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons lightly toasted pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, green part removed
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Tips:

  • Choose fresh string beans. Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the string beans. Before cooking, trim the ends of the string beans and remove any strings that run along the sides.
  • Blanch the string beans. Blanching is a quick process that helps to preserve the color and nutrients in the string beans. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the string beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
  • Cook the potatoes. While the string beans are blanching, cook the potatoes. Peel and cube the potatoes, then add them to a pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until they are softened and golden brown.
  • Add the string beans, potatoes, and tomatoes. Add the blanched string beans, cooked potatoes, and diced tomatoes to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine.
  • Season the dish. Season the dish with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through.
  • Garnish and serve. Garnish the dish with chopped parsley or cilantro, then serve immediately.

Conclusion:

String beans with white potatoes is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of string beans, potatoes, and tomatoes is delicious and nutritious, and the dish can be easily customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
