This green bean and tomato recipe<\/a> will change the way you think about green beans. The humble vegetable will go from being a side dish you serve at Thanksgiving to a vegetable you craft an entire meal around. Green beans Provencal is easy to make yet rich and complex in flavor, making the best use of several fine vegetables.<\/p>\n Tomatoes and green beans prepared like this pair perfectly with light meats like chicken or fish, grains like rice, farro or barley, or a good hearty bread, ideally a French baguette. And yet, for all the taste and the handsome look of this dish, it’s quite quick and easy to make.<\/p>\n Place the green beans in a steamer basket, then place the basket in a large saucepan over 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and steam the green beans for four to five minutes, until they’re crisp-tender.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, saute the green onion, shallot<\/a>, garlic and rosemary in olive oil, cooking until the vegetables are tender.<\/p>\n Add the green beans, tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper, and saute two to three minutes longer, until everything has heated through.<\/p>\n These green beans and tomatoes will keep well in the fridge in an airtight container for three to four days. Reheat them in a pan with olive oil.<\/p>\n Yes, leftovers can be frozen in airtight packaging for up to three months, but after that the green bean texture will start to break down.<\/p>\n A hearty grain like barley pairs well here, as would roasted potatoes. As a protein, chicken, fish and pork chops are all great choices.<\/p>\n You can use a strainer or colander that fits down into your pot, just make sure the green beans are above the water and that the pot is covered as well as possible.<\/p>\n If that’s what you have, then yes. Don’t steam them, just let them thaw and then go right to the sauteing step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Garlic, tomatoes and olive oil are wonderful ingredients often found in Southern French cooking.
