Italian style green beans

24-Nov-2014

Green beans go with so many foods, which is just as well in the summer months where they are coming out of our ears and growing in the garden like triffids. For centuries, the Italians have prepared green beans with tomato sauce and so we are sharing this preparation method with you. It doesn’t involve any fancy preparation techniques, so you can throw it all in a pan and let the ingredients work their magic. We think they look gorgeous too, and believe us, they taste even better than they look. The tomato accompaniment is perfect if you’re in need of a break from those plain boiled beans. We think you’ll taste the summer sun in every bite, even on a cold, drizzly day.
