ITALIAN GREEN BEANS



Italian Green Beans image

When I was first married, I wasn't a great cook. Twenty years later, I have many dishes I'm proud of, including this family favorite. Basil, oregano and Romano cheese give these beans their Italian accent. I serve them with broiled steak, pork roast, lamb chops or pork chops. -Andrea Ibzag, Gordon, Wisconsin

GARLIC ITALIAN GREEN BEANS



Garlic Italian Green Beans image

An easy way to prepare green beans that will usually even get those who don't like green beans to eat them :) These come a little better if you thaw the green beans first -in fridge for a few hours, or if time constricted - I have popped them in the microwave for a few minutes. The measurements for dry ingredients are approximate - you can play with them an adjust to your own taste - I usually don't measure mine. This recipe doubles well.

ITALIAN FLAT GREEN BEANS WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC

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.

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:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that run along the sides.
  • Blanch the green beans: This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the garlic Italian sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Combine the beans and sauce: Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the garlic Italian sauce. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
  • Serve immediately: Garnish with Parmesan cheese and additional oregano, if desired.
