Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans (string beans)
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 120 grams sour cream
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans by snapping off the ends. Cut the beans in half if they are particularly long.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes, ensuring you remove any core. Set aside.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
Add the diced tomatoes, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down into a chunky sauce.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the tomato mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Lower the heat to the lowest setting and gently stir in the sour cream. Mix until the beans are evenly coated and the sauce is creamy. Do not let the mixture boil, as this can cause the sour cream to separate.
Taste and adjust the 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 or main dish.
