Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 beefsteak tomatoes
2 1/2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 shallot garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon crushed chili flakes or Aleppo pepper
Salt, to taste
Ground whit epepper to taste
2 1/2 inch thick slices country bread
8 medium basil leaves, sliced into chiffonade

Steps:

  • Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add tomatoes and simmer until skin begins to break, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cooled. Peel tomatoes, cut in half, discard seeds and cut into small cubes. Place in bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat 2 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil until shimmering. Add garlic and stir until barely translucent; do not allow to brown. Add the shallots and stir until translucent. Add tomatoes, raise heat to medium and stir constantly until juices have evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add green beans, spreading them evenly in the pan. Add chili flakes and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until beans are fork tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Brush remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil on bread slices and toast until golden brown. Place a slice on each of two plates and spoon an equal portion of green beans and tomatoes on each slice. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.
