Ingredients

• 500 grams green beans
• 2 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into small cubes and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.

Step 6

Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them with the tomato mixture. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Drizzle the honey and balsamic vinegar over the green beans. Stir well to combine and let cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to complement any main course.
