Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh green beans
• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While waiting, trim the ends off the green beans.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice water bath to stop the cooking and preserve their bright color. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and blister.

Step 5

Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss to combine with the tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the green beans through if serving hot.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and grated parmesan evenly over the top.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves.

Step 9

Serve immediately for a hot dish, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and serve chilled if desired.
