Photo: Basil and Tomato Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large shallot, chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
Directions
Add the green beans to a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook until bright green, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove green beans from the boiling water and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
In a large heavy skillet, melt butter. Saute the shallot over medium heat until soft. Add red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and green beans. Toss together cooking for a minute more. Add the white wine and tomato and cook until the wine has reduced; about 3 minutes. Add the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste

yum,yum,yum this recipe was fantastic. Was looking for a recipe with green beans and new potatoes. I watch the Neelys show and took their advice and added precooked New Potatoes to this, with one extra tbls butter and 1/3 cup white wine. You got a winner here. Remember as the Neelys say take it and make it your own. Thanks happy in Ohio
