GREEN BEAN SALAD (EASY ITALIAN RECIPE - SERVED COLD OR HOT)

Steps:

• Snap off the end(s) of the green beans and wash well (if they are fresh). If the beans are really long, you can cut/snap them in half. Frozen bean will be ready to use.
• Heat enough water in a pot to just cover the beans and bring to a boil. When boiling, toss in the beans. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes then add about ½ tsp of salt. Check to see if they are ready, but you may need to continue cooking for another 1 to 5 minutes. The size of the beans will determine how long they need to cook (mine were ready in about 8 mins).
• If you want to cool them quickly, or you might have cooked them longer than you wanted to, run them under cold water. If not, just drain and put into a bowl.
• Add the sliced garlic (if using). If not using garlic, you can add a strong wine vinegar. In Italy, it's either with garlic or vinegar, but not both (according to my mother). Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the beans. Add the red wine vinegar if you didn't add garlic, and finally, salt if necessary (it will almost definitely need more salt).
• Toss and mix well and either serve immediately, or refrigerate if serving cold.

ITALIAN GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Prep all vegetables according to specifications above.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.⁠ Once the water comes to a boil, add salt, then the beans. (See NOTE below.)
• Boil the beans for about 5 minutes or until they are soft. Remove & set aside, keeping the water for boiling the potatoes.
• Bring the pot of water back up to a boil, covering the pot if necessary. Then, add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Remove & set aside.⁠ Reserve 1-2 cups of the starchy potato water before discarding the rest of the water.
• While the vegetables are boiling, heat the oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and sauté until they begin to lightly caramelize (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and continue to sauté another 2 minutes.⁠
• Add the cooked beans and potatoes to the onions and mix well. Continue to cook the mixture until the beans are very soft, adding a bit of the starchy potato water if more moisture is needed and partially covering the pan.
• Once the beans are cooked to your desired doneness, season the dish with salt and pepper, then finish with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. Buon Appetito!
