Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes or bruises.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
  • Blanch the green beans: This will help to preserve their color and crunch. 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. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to green beans, this recipe also includes bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. You can also add other vegetables of your choice, such as zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
