Braised Green Beans with Tomatoes and Cilantro image

Summer tomatoes are a thing of beauty, but what if you're wanting to take a (short) break from all those caprese salads? Try this Spanish-inspired-side that braises chopped fresh tomatoes alongside sturdy romano beans; the tomatoes bring a welcome burst of acidity and a touch of sweetness to the final dish.

TURKISH-STYLE BRAISED GREEN BEANS



Turkish-Style Braised Green Beans image

In this Turkish method, vegetables (and sometimes beans) are cooked in plenty of olive oil - usually with tomatoes, onions and one or two other ingredients - until they have almost lost their shape. Then they are cooled and served at room temperature, when their flavors are at their fullest. Very often an herb or citrus juice is added just before serving for a little spark; thick yogurt and lemon wedges are standard accompaniments. It's probably obvious that these dishes are pretty much ideal for warm-weather meals. They not only can be made in advance, but also must be, so they can cool down. Even a day or two ahead is fine; just take them out of the refrigerator about 45 minutes before serving.
