Do you love green beans as much as I do? I can remember a time not too long ago where I wasn't such a huge fan, but thankfully tastes change as you mature.

I generally steam the beans; then sauté in a little chicken broth, butter, salt and pepper, but I recently had tried Olive Garden's Green Beans with Tomato and Garlic and fell in love.

How do you make Green Beans with Tomato and Garlic?

These green beans are really quite easy to make and took hardly any time at all. Start with fresh green beans versus frozen or canned for a crisper bean.

I used Haricot Verts; which are French green beans and are slightly thinner; then steam or blanch them for 1-2 minutes before draining and cooling them under cold water.

I like Haricot Verts better than regular green beans as you don't have to trim the ends which saves a few extra needed minutes when preparing dinner on a busy weeknight.

Next, sauté the green beans in a little extra virgin olive oil, garlic and fresh plum tomatoes. That's it! Just a few simple ingredients and you have a new vegetable your family will devour...trust me! ~Enjoy!

    My family and I love green beans, but I am limited to only 3 recipes as of now, and looking for more recipes to shake it up a bit at the dinner table. I am definitely going to try this recipe out and serve it along with baked chicken and mashed potatoes.
