A traditional Spanish side dish that I've served on holidays for many years. But it's a simple, tasty dish anytime! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, crushed |
2 pounds fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths |
3 cups canned diced tomatoes with their juice |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives |
3 tablespoons pine nuts |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 bay leaf |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat if garlic begins to brown. Add green beans, then continue to cook and stir until bright green but not quite tender, about 4 minutes.
2. Mix in tomatoes, lemon juice and pine nuts, and season with chives, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer gently uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.
