Sweet, juicy heirloom tomatoes lend themselves well to uncooked tomato sauces. In summer, I make quick meals out of chopped ripe tomatoes, pasta and green vegetables.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, one pot, pastas, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 50m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 to 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed, strings removed if necessary, and broken in half if very long
2 cups chopped fresh ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 plump garlic clove, minced (more to taste)
Salt (I like to use a very good coarse sea salt or fleur de sel for this)
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
2 tablespoons slivered basil
2 ounces crumbled feta (about 1/2 cup)
3/4 pound pasta (penne or fusilli are good choices)

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl, and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes (or longer).
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the green beans to the boiling water, and boil four to five minutes, depending on how crunchy you like them. Remove with a strainer or skimmer, and transfer to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • Bring the water back to a boil, and add the pasta. Cook until al dente, about eight minutes. When the pasta is ready, drop the green beans back into the water to heat, then drain the pasta and beans and toss at once with the tomato mixture and the feta. Serve hot or room temperature.

TOMATO-GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND DILL



Tomato-Green Bean Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Dill image

This is a perfect salad for summer, when the market is chockablock with great produce. Use whatever tomatoes are sweetest, and feel free to add yellow wax beans or romano beans in addition to green beans. If your market has fresh shelling beans, use those instead of chickpeas. Plan ahead to soak dried chickpeas overnight. With a soak, they only take an hour to cook, and taste better than canned ones.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings
