Best String Beans And Tomatoes Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH TOMATOES AND STRING BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Fill a saucepan with lightly salted water, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the green beans, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered until the green beans are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the beans, reserving 2/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Spread the beans into the greased baking dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops, and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Season the browned pork chops with salt, pepper, sage, and garlic, then arrange over the green beans.
• Pour the reserved bean-cooking liquid in the skillet and stir the browned bits until dissolved. Pour over the pork chops. Place the tomato slices over the pork chops, and cover each with a slice of Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork chops should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

STRING BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, saute the onions, bell peppers and garlic in the butter until tender. Add the ketchup, carrots, basil, and fresh and canned tomatoes, then cook for 10 to 15 minutes more. Add the string beans, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, taking care not to overcook the beans. Serve over rice or as a side dish.

LOBY (STRING/GREEN BEANS WITH SOUR CREAM AND TOMATOES)

Steps:

• Bring in a pan 3 l of lightly salted water to boil over high heat. Drop string beans and bring back to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes, until the beans are tender. Drain the beans, wash them under cold water. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet set over high heat. Add the onions and green pepper, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the tomatoes and basil, raise the heat to high, and boil rapidly for 1-2 minutes, until most of the juices in the pan have evaporated.
• Stir in the green beans and simmer until heated through.
• In a mixing bowl, beat together the egg, sour cream, salt and a few grindings of black pepper. Stir in the vegetables. Serve at once.
