About

These tasty green beans are sautéed with sweet tomatoes, salty olives and capers and aromatic garlic.

This is a great side to accompany chicken dishes or even tossed through low carb spaghetti!

Ingredients

  • 6 medium black olives
  • 3 ½ ounce green beans (string beans), raw
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium – 2 3/5" diameter tomato raw (includes cherry, grape, roma)
  • 1 tablespoon, whole pieces capers
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth, bouillon or consomme

Instructions

  1. Add the green beans to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 4-5 minutes until just tender. Drain completely.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a low/medium heat. Roughly dice the tomato, slice the olives and garlic and chop the capers. Add to the pan and cook for a minute or two until just tender. Add the stock and simmer for a minute or two to soften the tomato, until the stock is almost completely evaporated.
  3. Add the green beans, oregano and toss to combine. Sauté for a minute or two to heat through.
