Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Rinse and trim the ends of the green beans. Cut them into approximately 2-inch pieces.
Wash the grape tomatoes and slice them in half.
Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the red onion.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the oil and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to turn bright green and tender-crisp.
Toss in the halved grape tomatoes and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and fresh basil leaves.
Serve the green beans and tomatoes warm as a side dish or a light main course.
