Green Beans with Tomato Sauce – A Quick Side Dish

This green beans recipe is really quick and easy to make, and is delicious too…. great substitute if you are having a roast and don’t have time to make gravy….serve with chicken schnitzel, steak, sausages….anything really.

I remember my grandmother “top and tailing” green beans and us as kids eating them raw – I still enjoy eating them raw, and as a family we love this easy dish.

Ingredients:

  • handful (or 2 or 3) of fresh green beans, washed and topped and tailed, cut to desired length
  • half a small tin of tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • chilli if desired (use Dave’s Chilli)

Wash, top and tail the beans and cut to length. Put in saucepan with all other ingredients. Swirl some water into the tomato paste tin to get the rest of the paste out, add to pan.

 Over medium heat, stir ingredients until butter melts and sauce thickens – you may need more water depending on how thick you want the sauce – season with salt and pepper.  Turn off heat and rest – I like my beans crunchy, cook  yours until they are how you like them.
Serve.
