- The dish can be made in advance up to braising. 30 minutes before serving, add the tomatoes with juice and then follow the recipe as written.
- In a pinch, three (3) 14.5 oz. cans of green beans (drained) can be used in place of fresh. Follow the recipe as written, but remember, beans will be very, very soft (but still delicious).
- The entire dish can be made in advance (up to 12 hours), chilled, and then reheated on the stove until heated through and simmering. You may need to add a little vegetable broth or water if the beans are a little dry.
- Leftovers will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge and can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat on the stove over medium heat.
