String/Green Beans in Chunky Tomato Sauce image

This is a recipe from Lidia's Italian American Kithchen. The traditional beans used in this recipe are the Italian string beans - the flat wide ones. Due to the acidity of the tomato sauce they will turn olive green in the cooking process. This recipe is posted by request. I haven't tried it yet.

STRING BEANS IN CHUNKY TOMATO SAUCE



String Beans in Chunky Tomato Sauce image

I'm sure this dish will take you back, whether you make it with "Italian" string beans (those flat wide ones), regular string beans, or the more expensive, thinner haricots verts. It isn't necessary to start with a long-simmered tomato sauce for these beans; in fact, the flavor will be fresher with this quick-cooked marinara made right in the pan. The acidity of the tomatoes will turn the string beans a sort of olive green. That doesn't bother me at all-it reminds me of the way my grandmother cooked vegetables. Maybe they weren't the brightest-green vegetables I've ever seen, but they certainly were the most delicious.

Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing the dish if you like
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 pound flat "Italian" string beans, regular string beans, or haricots verts, ends trimmed
Salt
Crushed hot red pepper
One 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes (preferably San Marzano) with their liquid

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Whack the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and toss them into the pan. Cook, shaking the pan, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Scatter the string beans over the oil, season them lightly with salt and red pepper, and turn with tongs until they begin to wilt, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, crush the tomatoes coarsely with your hands. Add them to the string beans, cover the pan, and cook until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Taste the beans, and season with additional salt and red pepper if you like. Serve hot.
