Green Roman beans in garlic & fresh tomatoes

FOOD 349

Green Roman beans are large flat beans and typical in Rome in summertime.

500gr broad beans topped and tailed and cut in half

3 medium ripe tomatoes

2 cloves garlic, 1 tbspn olive oil,small glass water, s & p

In a low pan add the water, sliced garlic cloves, olive oil and beans. Cover with a lid and steam for 10′. Add the tomatoes cut in fours with the skin and s & p. Steam for another 10′. By this time you will be able to remove the skin of the tomatoes.Check that the juice is not dry and if so, add a little more water. Stir and cover and steam for a further 10 to 15′ until the beans are cooked.

This is nice eaten cold with some unsalted toasted bread as bruschetta with olive oil.
