Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 2 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them with the tomato mixture. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
Drizzle the honey and balsamic vinegar over the green beans. Stir well to combine and let cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement any main course.
