Equipment

  • sautee pan
  • measuring cup
  • cutting board
  • knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ large yellow onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 12 ounces green beans
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 medium tomato

Instructions
 

  • Heat your sauté pan on 7 heat (halfway between high and medium). Add one teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Once the oil has heated, add ½ of a large yellow onion roughly chopped, and one clove of minced garlic. Sauté for five minutes.
  • After five minutes has passed, add 12 ounces of fresh or fresh frozen green beans. (1 frozen bag or 1 ready made bag). No pre-thawing necessary for frozen. Let this simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
    *DO NOT COVER YOUR PAN WITH A LID*
  • After 15minutes has passed, add one teaspoon of ground black pepper and gently stir. Make a hole in the middle of the green beans and add one more teaspoon of olive oil to the center of the pan.
  • Mix the olive oil into the green beans and add one medium tomato roughly chopped to your pan.  
  • Add one teaspoon of garlic salt. Let the mixture of green beans with the onions, garlic, and tomatoes sauté for up to 10 minutes.
    Remember not to cover your pan/pot with a lid.
  • The tomatoes will cook down to almost a paste like texture. This is critical for the smoky flavor. Once your tomatoes transition to the paste like texture, give it one last stir and remove from heat.
