Preparation of Tuscan Green Beans with Tomato
Let’s see how to prepare the green beans.
First, clean the green beans; you need to remove the ends, wash them well, place them in a basin filled with water for 5 minutes, then rinse well under running water making sure no impurities remain. Wash the tomatoes, remove the skin, and cut them into small pieces. In a large and tall pot, put a little oil and sauté the garlic and chopped onion. When they are sautéed, add the green beans and chopped tomatoes, add the sage leaves and thyme. If you don’t like thyme, you can leave it out. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. After 4 minutes, add the salt and a cup of water. Cover with a lid and continue cooking for about 30 minutes if they are quite fine; if they are a bit thicker, cook longer, checking the cooking, stirring occasionally, and if they dry out too much, add more water. Plate and serve. If you like to mop up the sauce, add one more tomato and more water.
notes
If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge in their pot or in a sealed container for 24 hours; just reheat them for 5 minutes on the stove.
