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.
