French Beans with Tomato

Ingredients

• 100g french beans
• 40g cherry tomatos (4) or normal tomato (½)
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Preparation Time: 12 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 seconds
Serves: 2

Method

1. Cut the beans into roughly 2cm pieces and carefully put them into a pan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Then drain off the water through a sieve and hold them under cold, running water for 30 seconds.
2. If using cherry tomatos, cut them into quarters, otherwise, peel the skin off the tomato, chop it into quarters, remove the seeds and then finely dice it (this is called a concasse of tomato). Finely chop the garlic.
3. In a frying pan, heat the oil, then put everything in, season it with salt & pepper and gently toss or stir it for about thirty seconds.
4. Serve.
