Braised Green Beans with Tomatoes and Cilantro image

Summer tomatoes are a thing of beauty, but what if you're wanting to take a (short) break from all those caprese salads? Try this Spanish-inspired-side that braises chopped fresh tomatoes alongside sturdy romano beans; the tomatoes bring a welcome burst of acidity and a touch of sweetness to the final dish.

The green beans were overcooked and the tomatoes were mushy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would have benefited from some additional seasoning.
