    Recipe Introduction


    "Since there are no tomatoes in the Osso Buco, this green bean recipe is an attractive side dish. In the summer, use fresh tomatoes, but right now I’d use canned Italian plum tomatoes or one by Muir Glen. "

    Makes 8 servings

    List of Ingredients




    2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and blanched
    2 large onions, coarsely chopped
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/3 cup vegetable oil
    1 clove garlic, chopped
    4 large tomatoes, peeled and cut up, or 1 16-ounce can tomatoes
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
    4 ounces water
    Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Recipe



    Blanch green beans. Refresh immediately in ice water to stop the cooking.

    Sauté onions in oil. When they are about half done, add the garlic.

    When onions are completely translucent, add tomatoes, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes.

    Add the green beans and cook for about 15 minutes more.

    Teacher’s Tip: This dish is also very good prepared a day ahead and served at room temperature.
