Olive Garden Restaurant Green Beans With Tomato And Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• After you have washed the green beans, remove the ends.
• Blanche the green beans in salted boiling water for one minute. Drain and run cold water over them to stop the cooking process.
• In a large nonstick frying pan heat the oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
• Add the green beans and cook for another minute.
• Add the tomato pieces and cook until the green beans are tender but still green. (Sometimes I'll add 1/4 cup water and cover the pan for a bit if the green beans are having trouble getting tender.).
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve at once.

Steps:

• Cut ends from beans& then cut into 2 inch pieces; cook in boiling water until crisp tender (about 10 minutes).
• Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat; add garlic& cook for 30 seconds.
• Add beans& cook with garlic for another 2 minutes.
• Peel, deseed& dice tomato; add to skillet& cook until heated through (about 3 minutes).

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat and drop in the green beans; cook until slightly tender, but still crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately drain the green beans and plunge into ice water to stop the beans from cooking further. Drain the beans and place them in a shallow serving dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic in the oil for about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the olives, tomatoes, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over green beans. Toss together until beans are evenly coated. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top and garnish with oregano sprigs. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
