Hi Angela! Here are a couple of my favorite green bean recipes:
Savory Green Beans
1-1/2 lbs. green beans (may use frozen) 1/4 c oil or butter (I use less!) 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 Tbs. chopped onion 3/4 c diced green pepper (can omit if you are not fond of peppers) 1/4 c boiling water 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. dried basil 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese Leave the beans whole or cut into 1 inch pieces. Heat oil and garlic in heavy pan. Add onion and gr. pepper; cook slowly for 3 minutes. Add beans, water, salt and basil. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes. until beans are tender. Stir in half of the cheese. Turn into serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Makes 6 to 8 servings (You can easily cut this in half)
Green Beans with fresh Tomatoes 1/4 c chopped green pepper 1 med. size onion, chopped (1/2 cup) 2 Tbs. butter or marg. 1 large tomato, chopped 1/4 tsp. oregano 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 a pound green beans, cooked and drained Melt butter in saucepan, add onion and gr. pepper. Simmer till veggies are soft. Add tomato, oregano, and salt, and simmer for 10 more minutes. Add beans to the sauce and cook just long enough to heat through. |
