Fagiolini in Umido Many versions of this simple, fresh, and flavorful contorno (vegetable side dish) are served in Italy. Lightly braising the green beans cooks them to a pleasingly crisp yet tender texture. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 cup finely chopped white onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed |
2 large plum tomatoes, finely chopped (about 1 cup) |
1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves |
1/2 cup water |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until onion softens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add green beans, tomatoes, basil leaves, and 1/2 cup water. Cook until beans are crisp-tender, stirring and tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.
