Simple Greek-Style Green Beans
I can’t get myself to brave the cold to get to the store lately, so I’ve been scrounging around for food in the freezer, and dug up a bag of frozen green beans. This is a lightning fast but still very tasty recipe for when you’re in a rush. For an even faster recipe leave out the onion and/or garlic, and substitute onion or garlic powder. This is very good with Muir Glen canned pizza sauce rather than plain tomato sauce. To make this more of a meal, serve it with a grain like brown rice.
In a skillet saute:
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/4 tsp. dried chili flakes
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 10-20 kalamata olives, chopped
When the onions are soft, add:
- 1 bag (1 lb.?) green beans (I usually use frozen)
- 1/2 tsp. dry oregano (optional)
Finally, when the green beans are defrosted, add:
- 1/2 cup (more?) tomato sauce
Stir and heat through, then serve. Optional: sprinkle with a little crumbled feta.
