    Piquant Green Beans

    Published: Jan 23, 2011 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This nippy preparation of green beans is adapted from a traditional recipe from the Southwestern U.S. Fresh tomatoes and jalapeños combined with tender fresh green beans make for a tasty summer side dish. You can use whole organic green beans when fresh are unavailable. Photos by Evan Atlas.

    Serves: 4 to 6 as a side dish

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 ½ pounds green beans, trimmed and snapped or cut in half
    • 3 medium ripe juicy tomatoes, chopped
    • 1 or 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper

    Heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until it is translucent.

    Add the garlic and green  beans and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer, covered, until the green beans are tender. This will take approximately from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on their size and thickness. Serve at once.
