Tomato Beans Italian Style.
From eastcoaster 8 years ago
- around 1 and1/2 hour to make
- Serves 3-4
This is a very simple recipe and a very tasty side dish with any protein.
Ingredients
- About 1 pound of fresh green beans(cut in half if they are long) shopping list
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste shopping list
- 2/3 cup chicken broth shopping list
- 1 medium onion diced shopping list
- 2-3 cloves garlic diced shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- salt and black pepper, to taste. shopping list
- medium to large pot with a lid shopping list
How to make it
- On medium heat, cover the bottom of the pot with olive oil( twice around as Rachael Ray would say )
- when oil is warm add onion and saute for a 5 minutes
- add the garlic and saute for 2 more minutes
- add the tomato paste and stir until you can smell it
- add the beans a few at a time and mix with a wooden spoon to coat
- do this until all the beans are in the pot and nicely coated
- add the chicken broth and mix so all the beans are coated.
- Turn the burner down to simmer, cover the pot with the lid inverted so steam can escape.
- Let simmer for about 1 hour or so then test for tenderness.If not tender leave them for another 1/2 hour or so.
- Give them a stir once in a while to make sure they are not sticking to the pot. Add more broth if needed.
- This is my moms recipe.
- I usually don't measure when i cook, but a friend of mine asked how i made them so i told her. She made them and was wise enough to measure her ingredients and gracious enough to let me know, and i thank her very much.
- So with her help i was able to share this on here.
- Hope you enjoy the beans done this way(Italian Style) as much as we do.

What a great way to dress up green beans. Hubs particularly loved these as his mother used to make something very similar, many years ago. I changed nothing and I can't think of a single thing that would improve the dish. Thanks for sharing your auth...more

March 16/16 Oh this recipe is fantastic. I cut the recipe in half as only 3 of us would eat green beans. Great flavour and the beans while tender were not over cooked. Will be making again. Thank you Manella for sharing this recipe.
