Best Tomato Marinated Greens And Beans Toast Recipes

SMOKY BEANS AND GREENS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium. Brush the bread on both sides with the olive oil. Lay the bread in the skillet and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until crisp and golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. (If your slices are large, you may have to do this in two batches.) Set the bread aside.
• Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until it has browned a little and rendered at least a tablespoon of fat, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it has softened and turned golden, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme (if using), red pepper flakes, and, if you're using canned beans, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and cook, stirring, for a minute or two.
• Add the slightly wet kale in batches, using tongs to stir the leaves into the onion mixture; wait for one handful of kale to wilt and shrink before adding the next. When the last of the greens has been added, add the beans and broth. Raise the heat and let the beans and greens simmer for a minute or two, just to warm the beans and bring the flavors together. Taste and add more kosher salt if necessary.
• Serve the greens and beans over the toast in wide, shallow bowls, dusted with a little more smoked paprika.

TOMATO-MARINATED GREENS AND BEANS TOAST

Steps:

• Working over a large bowl, grate flesh side tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater until all that's left is the tomato skin; discard skin. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups juice and pulp.) Stir in oil, capers and caper brine, shallot, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and 1/4 cup cold water. Add Swiss chard and cherry tomatoes and mix well. Let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir lentils into tomato-marinated greens and mix well. Spoon mixture over toast. Drizzle with oil, top with cheese and serve immediately.

GREEN BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Trim ends of beans and leave them whole.
• Drop beans into a saucepan with salted boiling water. Cook until crisp tender, about 3 to 5 minutes according to the size of the beans. Do not overcook. Drain and let cool.
• Cut away the core of each tomato, and cut it into wedges.
• In a salad bowl, add mustard, vinegar, shallots, garlic, oil, salt and pepper and blend with a wire whisk. Add beans and tomatoes, toss well. Sprinkle with basil.

MARINATED GREEN BEANS WITH OLIVES, TOMATOES, AND FETA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat and drop in the green beans; cook until slightly tender, but still crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately drain the green beans and plunge into ice water to stop the beans from cooking further. Drain the beans and place them in a shallow serving dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic in the oil for about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the olives, tomatoes, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over green beans. Toss together until beans are evenly coated. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top and garnish with oregano sprigs. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.

MARINATED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Core 1 1/2 pounds small green tomatoes and cut into wedges. Bring 2 cups water and 1/2 cup white wine vinegar to a boil in a saucepan. Add the tomatoes in batches and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain and let cool. Whisk 1/4 cup each white wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped parsley and chopped mint and 1 tablespoon each kosher salt, sugar and minced Fresno chile in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes and toss. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Add the bacon to a large Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until light golden (not crisp). Drain off the excess fat.
• Add the onions to the pot; cook until the bacon and onions are golden brown. Add the green beans and tomatoes, and season to taste with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir gently to combine.
• Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.

ROASTED TOMATO AND BUTTER BEAN TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the butter beans on one side of a baking dish and the tomatoes on the other side. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the 2 sliced garlic cloves and a sprinkle of sea salt all over.
• Sprinkle the sage only over the butterbeans and drizzle the Worcestershire sauce only over the tomatoes. Toss each section individually with a couple of spoons and keep separate, to keep the flavors separate.
• Bake until the butter beans start to turn golden and the cherry tomatoes are soft and roasted, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Meanwhile, put the slices of baguette on a baking sheet, drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and toast in the oven until golden, about 12 minutes. Then remove to cool.
• When the toasts are cool, rub one side of each with the remaining whole garlic clove.
• To assemble, lay some of the butter beans (about 4) on each toast, pressing down gently with a fork to slightly crush so they do not roll around. Arrange 2 roasted tomatoes on top and garnish with a few chives. Arrange on a serving plate and eat!
