GREEN BEANS WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
1 lb. firm, ripe red tomatoes
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 lbs. fresh green beans, trimmed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into strips
4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
Rinse tomatoes in cold water and drop them into a pot of boiling water. When water returns to a boil, cook for about 1 minute, then drain and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel, remove seeds, and cut into large pieces.
In a large saute pan with a lid, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until golden.
Add tomatoes, turn up heat and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.
Add green beans, reduce heat to medium, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and cover with lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but firm. If too watery, remove lid and raise to a high heat and cook an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from pan and toss with basil. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve.
