    Spanish Peasant-Style Green Beans


    Source of Recipe


    The Basque Table

    Recipe Introduction


    Adapted from The Basque Table by Teresa Barrenechea (Harvard
    Common Press, 1998.

    List of Ingredients




    2 pounds green beans, preferably flat ones
    2 large new potatoes (about 1 pound) peeled and cut into small chunks
    4 medium carrots, cut into small chunks
    5 tablespoons olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, sliced

    Recipe



    1. Trim the ends from the beans and halve them crosswise. Pull the strings from any that are a little tough
    or oversized.
    2. In a stockpot, bring 2 quarts lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the beans. Cook the beans, uncovered, over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, until they are tender. Using a slotted spoon, lift the beans from the water and transfer them to a colander to drain.
    3. Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot, and return the water to a boil. Cook potatoes and carrots over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the vegetables. (You can reserve the cooking liquid, if you like, to make a light soup with small pasta pieces.) Transfer the beans, potatoes, and carrots to a serving dish.
    4. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook it for 3 to 4 minutes, until it is golden (do not let it burn).
    Pour the hot oil and garlic over the vegetables, toss them gently, and serve them immediately. Serves 4.
