Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 250 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the green beans.
Cover the skillet and let the green beans cook in the tomato sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Uncover the skillet for the last 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve the green beans hot, either on their own or as an accompaniment to your favorite main course.
