Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil, divided (for Passover use olive oil)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 14.5 ounces tomatoes, diced and peeled (1 can)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (for gluten free choose a certified gluten free balsamic vinegar)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons golden raisins
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (for vegan use agave)
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh oregano, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 teaspoons pine nuts, toasted (for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash and trim green beans, set aside. Peel and dice onion. Slice garlic. In a pan, sauté onions in 1 1/2 tbsp olive or grapeseed oil. Cook until soft and slightly translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook till fragrant; don't let the garlic burn.
- Add canned tomatoes, vinegar, raisins, honey, crushed red pepper and a pinch of salt. Stir.
- Cook down until most of the liquid has been reduced, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the oregano and parsley. Remove from heat.
- Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat. Once hot add green beans, 1 ½ tbsp olive or grapeseed oil and a pinch of salt. Cook the beans for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until tender crisp. They should be bright green with a lightly charred exterior and be tender, but not soft. Transfer to a serving plate.
- Using the same pan you used to cook the green beans, toast pine nuts over medium heat until lightly toasted and golden.
- Spoon caponata topping over the cooked green beans. Garnish with toasted pine nuts.
