Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, diced (or a can of diced tomatoes)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to taste)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions:
- First things first, heat up that olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want it nice and hot so those flavors really pop!
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, toss in the minced garlic and cook for about a minute until you can smell that garlicky goodness.
- Now, it’s time to add the fresh green beans to the skillet. Stir them around for a minute or two to coat them well with the onion and garlic mix.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the vegetable broth (or water). Stir everything together and season with salt, pepper, and sugar if you like a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity from the tomatoes.
- Bring everything to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes. This is where the magic happens as those flavors meld together beautifully!
- After the green beans are tender, give it a taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley to bring it all together. You can enjoy this dish as a side or even on its own with some warm bread!
