String Green Beans In Chunky Tomato Sauce

This is a recipe from lidia's italian american kithchen. The traditional beans used in this recipe are the italian string beans - the flat wide ones. Due to the acidity of the tomato sauce they will turn olive green in the cooking process. This recipe is posted by request. I haven't tried it yet.

Steps

Heat olive oil in large , heavy skillet over medium heat.
Smash the cloves of garlic and toss them into the pan.
Cook , shaking the pan , until lightly browned , about 2 minutes.
Scatter the beans over the oil , season them lightly with salt and red pepper , and turn with tongs until they begin to wilt , about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile , crush the tomatoes coarsely with your hands and add them to the beans.
Cover the pan , cook until the beans are tender- about 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking , and serve hot.
