      Title: Sautéed Green Beans With Tomatoes And Garlic
 Categories: Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Green beans; trimmed
      1 tb Olive oil -OR-
    1/4 c  Water
      1 sm Red onion; chopped
      3 cl Garlic; minced
 14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes; drained
           Salt
           Black pepper; freshly ground
      1 tb Fresh basil; chopped
 
  This colorful sauté goes well with a variety of dishes. As a "side,"
  it makes a nice pairing for sautéed tofu, tempeh, or seitan. If you
  cut the beans into 1 to 2" lengths, the recipe can be used as a
  topping for baked potatoes, rice, or tossed with pasta.
  
  Lightly steam the green beans over boiling water until just tender.
  Rinse under cold running water to set the color and stop the cooking
  process. Drain and set aside.
  
  Heat the oil or water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the
  onion, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the
  garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green
  beans, tomatoes, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer, stirring
  occasionally, until the vegetables are hot and the flavors are well
  combined, about 10 minutes. Add the basil and toss to combine. Serve
  hot.
