Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh green beans
- 250 g grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set them aside.
Slice the grape tomatoes in half and set them aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Peel and finely dice the red onion.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir well to coat them with the oil, garlic, and onion.
Cover the skillet and cook the green beans for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.
Add the halved grape tomatoes to the skillet and mix gently.
Pour the balsamic vinegar over the vegetable mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the tomatoes start to soften.
Remove the skillet from heat. Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the dish.
Serve the green beans and tomatoes warm, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
