Green Bean Salad with Fresh Tomato Chutney image

The easy tomato chutney is adapted from Madhur Jaffrey's cookbook _From Curries to Kebabs._ Make the chutney and combine it with the green beans about four hours before serving, which allows plenty of time for the beans to soak up the flavors.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
4 medium tomatoes, quartered
11/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chopped seeded serrano chile

Steps:

  • Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain again. Pat dry. (Beans can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in paper towels and store in resealable plastic bags; refrigerate.)
  • Chop tomatoes in processor using on/off turns. Add brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cumin, and chile. Process until almost smooth. Pour tomato mixture over beans; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange beans on large platter and serve.
