Herbed Green Beans
Ingredients
1 lb. green beans, trimmed and cut into 1″ pieces
1 Tbsp. olive oil or butter
1 medium onion, chopped
4 – 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 C. white wine, chicken broth, or water
1 C. coarsely chopped canned or fresh tomatoes
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves
or 2 tsp. dried thyme
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
lime wedges for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Boil or steam the beans until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderate heat and cook the onion, stirring frequently, until tender but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add the liquid, tomatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the green beans, stirring to combine well, and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with lime wedges. Serves 4 to 6.
