Tomato and Runner Beans

6 servings


Ingredients:

750g runner beans, sliced diagonally into 2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
A few tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 can chopped tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Method:

1. Steam the beans in a foil covered colander over your potatoes or blanch in salted boiling water until tender.
2. Whilst the beans are cooking, make a quick tomato sauce by frying the garlic gently in some olive oil. Add the tomatoes and bring to the boil.
3. Add a little salt and pepper and simmer for about 15 minutes until you have a thick tomato sauce. Season, to taste.
4. Stir the beans into the sauce until they are all covered.
