Greekified Green Beans image

Adapted from a recipe found on the website TheKitchn. With some rearranging you could make this as a cold salad in the hot summer months.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed, cut in half or thirds depending on size (although good quality frozen green beans will work!)
olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and diced small or minced
1 small cinnamon stick (ground cinnamon can sub)
2/3 c white wine
2 medium fresh tomatoes, diced (heirloom would be perfect/good quality {fire roasted} canned toms in the off season)
1/2 medium bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
salt, to taste
fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Prep the green beans, onion and garlic.
  • 2. Heat a little olive oil in a heavy duty pan and gently sautè the green beans, onion, garlic and cinnamon stick over medium heat for about five minutes, or until onion and garlic soften and green beans are lightly browned.
  • 3. Add the wine to the pan. Bring to a boil and reduce by half.
  • 4. Stir in the tomatoes and bell pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
  • 5. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until liquid has mostly evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. A garnish of fresh herb: sage, parsley, oregano, marjoram, or basil would not be out of place.
