Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While waiting, trim the ends off the green beans.
Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice water bath to stop the cooking and preserve their bright color. Drain well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and blister.
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss to combine with the tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the green beans through if serving hot.
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and grated parmesan evenly over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately for a hot dish, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and serve chilled if desired.
