Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups tomato pulp
1 pound green beans, stem end snapped off
Freshly ground black pepper, fresh red hot pepper, or dried chili pepper flakes
Coarse sea salt
1/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons chopped basil

Steps:

  • Put the onion and the garlic in a heavy-bottomed 3-quart pot, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and stir to coat the vegetables.
  • Place the pot over low heat and cook the onion and garlic for 10 minutes or until tender.
  • Add the tomato, green beans, and pepper (or hot pepper) and season with salt. Bring to a simmer and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cooking time will depend on the quality and freshness of the beans, which should be tender and soft. Check after 10 minutes to make sure that cooking liquid is sufficient. Add 1/4 cup boiling water if necessary. If beans expel too much water, uncover and cook over high heat to thicken sauce.
  • Add the basil, cook for 2-3 minutes, remove from heat, and stir in remaining 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil.

I love green beans and these were some of the best I've ever had. The overstewing process made them so tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again and again.

These green beans were easy to make and turned out great. I used frozen green beans and they still turned out delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I was disappointed with these green beans. They were not as flavorful as I expected. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

These green beans were good, but not great. I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better with some more seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and my green beans turned out mushy. I think I overstewed them. But the flavor was good.

These green beans were a bit too overstewed for my taste. I like my green beans to have a little bit of crunch to them. But the flavor was good.

I've never been a big fan of green beans, but these were delicious! The overstewing process really mellowed out the flavor and made them so tender. I'll definitely be making these again.
