Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
- 100 grams feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans by cutting off the ends.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Add the halved tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Step 6
Stir in the blanched green beans, kalamata olives, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the mixture to a serving dish.
Step 8
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
