Print Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1/2 c Grated Paremesan cheese
  • 1 ts Salt
  • 1 tb sliced chives
  • 1/4 c sliced yellow pepper
  • 1/4 c Olive oil
  • 1/2 c Boiling water
  • 1 Clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 c sliced red pepper
  • 2 tb Fresh basil minced
  • 1/4 c sliced green pepper
  • 1 1/2 lb Fresh green beans

Directions
  • Step #1 For this dish, only use the freshest ingredients, & use only fresh herbs.
  • Step #2 If fresh herbs are not available, it simply will not be the same.
  • Step #3 For a nice aesthetic touch, reserve a tsp of each color of sliced pepper & a few pinches of sliced chives.
  • Step #4 Also save a sprig or two of the fresh basil (the centerpiece that looks like a flower of leaves would do nicely).
  • Step #5 When the dish is placed in it's serving dish, Sprinkle top the peppers, & chives over the cheese & top this with sprigs of basil.
  • Step #6 You may use 3/4 c sliced green pepper instead of 1/4 c of each green, red & yellow, or any combination thereof if the yellow and/or the red are not available, but they add a touch of color and distinction to the dish.
  • Step #7 Take fresh young beans & remove stem and any strings (the young ones shouldn't have much of a string to worry about).
  • Step #8 Break them in half (or so the segments are a couple of inches long).
  • Step #9 Heat oil & garlic in a large frying pan (make sure it is large enough to hold all the beans).
  • Step #10 When the oil becomes hot, add the peppers & cook slowly for 3 mins.
  • Step #11 Add the beans, salt, water, basil & chives & turn everything over until the herbs and peppers are well distributed over the beans.
  • Step #12 Cover & let simmer until the beans have turned a bright green & are al'dente (tender but still crisp; which should take about 5 mins).
  • Step #13 Mix in 1/4 c cheese & Sprinkle top 1/4 c on top.
  • Step #14 If you've reserved some of the sliced peppers, chives & whole basil leaves, garnish the top of the dish with these.
  • Step #15 --.
