1 lb. green beans
1/2 c. olive oil
1/2 c. onion, sliced
2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 1/2 Tbs. fresh rosemary, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste
Recipe
Bring 6 quarts salted water to a boil. Add trimmed beans and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 4 minutes.
While beans are simmering, heat oil. Add onion and cook over medium-high heat until translucent. Add garlic, stirring to avoid burning. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Strain beans through a colander and add directly to the onion and garlic. Add tomatoes and rosemary. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
Makes 4 servings.
