While my tomatoes had a hard time this year, they are just starting to grow now, and it's the end of September, my beans had no such problem. Anyone want some lovely purple and green beans? Just come on over and pick them. Read more . I made this along with my Oven Braised Chicken and Zucchini Pancakes. Ingredients:
1 pound green beans (i used a combo of green and purple beans) trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces |
1/4 cup diced pancetta, (if you don't have pancetta, you can use bacon) |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup onion, diced |
4 whole tomatoes, peeled and diced (you don't have to peel them, but i like them better without the peel. if they are especially seedy, go ahead and remove the seeds otherwise, i would just leave them in. also, i peel my tomatoes by holding ad turning them, on a long fork, over an open flame until they pop, peel with a knife, the peel comes right off) |
large pinch dried italian herbs |
pinch red pepper flakes |
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat; add the pancetta and oil, saute until the pancetta is just beginning to brown. Add the onion and saute until just soft, then add the diced tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes are hot and tender. Turn off heat.
2. Meanwhile, steam or cook the beans in hot water until just crisp tender. Add to the tomato mixture and stir to combine. When ready to serve, heat. Serve hot.
