Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 120 milliliters water
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season with a pinch of salt.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and blanch them for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the blanched green beans, chopped basil, parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Pour in the water and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the green beans are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the dish and give it a final toss before removing from heat.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or at room temperature as part of a light salad spread.
