Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 pound green beans
½ of a sweet onion (1/3 cup shallots would be lovely as well, also can sub regular yellow onion or red onion but use less, by about half.)
1 large clove of garlic
2 medium-or one large-ripe tomatoes
⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes
⅛ tsp. black pepper
½ cup feta cheese
Celtic sea salt
2 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. butter
Instructions
Set a medium-sized pot of water on to boil. Rinse and stem green beans. When the water reaches a boil, salt lightly and add green beans. Boil 3-5 minutes or until bright green but still relatively firm.
Slice sweet onion length-wise. Chop garlic.Dice and de-seed tomatoes. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Add tomatoes, fry for about 3 minutes to evaporate juices, add onion, garlic, red and black pepper, and ⅛ tsp. salt.
Allow to fry on high heat for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until the onion is translucent and the juices have thickened and reduced.
Add green beans, toss well, cover and steam for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the beans are tender but not mushy.
Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve hot or warm.
