Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium red onion
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly. Set aside.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Slice the red onion into thin strips.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced red onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the oil and seasonings. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are bright green and slightly tender.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir everything together and cook for another minute to combine the flavors.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light main course.
