Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 250 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut them in half if they are long.
Step 2
In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Add the green beans to the pan and stir them for about 2 minutes, allowing them to get a slight coat of the oil and garlic mixture.
Step 5
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth.
Step 6
Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 7
Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still have a slight bite.
Step 8
Occasionally stir the mixture and check if you need to add a little more broth to keep the beans from drying out.
Step 9
Once the beans are cooked to your preference, remove the lid and let the sauce thicken to your desired consistency if needed.
Step 10
Stir in the lemon juice right before serving to add a fresh zest to the dish.
Step 11
Serve the dairy-free green beans in tomato sauce warm as a side dish or on its own as a light, healthy meal.
