Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 14 oz green beans trimmed (400g)
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes (400g)
- 1 shallot finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (chili flakes)
- 1/3 cup water (80 ml)
- salt and pepper , to taste
- 4-5 torn basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- First, par-boil the green beans in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes.
- Next, Add olive oil to a large skillet, once hot add the shallots and fry for a few seconds then add the chopped garlic. Saute for 1 minute then add the red pepper flakes (chili flakes) and stir.
- Add the canned tomatoes, water, salt, and pepper to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Add the green beans and stir to coat in the sauce. Continue to cook for a further 8-10 minutes then serve garnished with basil (optional).
Notes
- Use the highest quality canned tomatoes you can get.
- I used string beans but any green beans will do.
- Trimming the beans isn't necessary (you can eat every part) but we prefer too. To do so, simply trim both ends with a sharp knife, you can also often buy them pre-trimmed.
- If you don't want a spicy kick then omit the red pepper flakes altogether.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for around 3-4 days and can be reheated or eaten cold.
- You can also freeze these beans, thaw completely before reheating.
