Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely chop the onions.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet.
- Sauté the onions until they turn translucent and start to caramelize, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in the green beans.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans start to soften.
- Pour the crushed canned tomatoes into the skillet.
- Add the allspice, stirring to combine all ingredients.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices and seasoning.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the green beans with olive oil hot, as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- Ensure you use fresh green beans for the best flavor and texture. If fresh beans are not available, frozen green beans can be a good substitute.
- To add a bit of crunch, lightly toast some pine nuts or slivered almonds, and sprinkle them over the top before serving.
- For added depth of flavor, consider caramelizing the onions gently over low heat before combining them with the other ingredients.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste. If you prefer a bit more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Serve the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty finish.
By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and healthy dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. The olive oil provides richness, while the onions, tomatoes, and allspice add layers of flavor. Enjoy your Green Beans with Olive Oil fresh off the stove or as a part of a larger spread.
