How to Prepare Stewed Green Beans
Let’s start preparing the stewed green beans. First, boil the green beans. You can do this in a pressure cooker or a regular pot; they need to be firm and only require a few minutes.
Pour the tomato puree into a pot, add a drizzle of oil and the basil leaves, cook for 5 minutes, then add the previously boiled green beans. Stir and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
At the end of cooking, adjust the salt and serve the stewed green beans hot or at room temperature.
