For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Fresh herbs such as oregano or basil can be substituted for the parsley. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will develop even further. Serve alongside grilled meats, fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBlanch the Green Beans: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside. (5-7 minutes)
02
StepSauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and parsley; cook for another minute until fragrant. (6 minutes)
03
StepSimmer the Sauce: Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine vinegar, and cumin. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. (25 minutes)
04
StepCombine and Reheat: In the same skillet, add the blanched green beans to the tomato sauce. Stir gently to coat the beans evenly. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. (5 minutes)
05
StepServe: Serve the green beans in tomato sauce hot, as a delicious side dish.

Mar 29, 2025The sauce was a little too acidic for my taste. Next time, I'll add a little more sugar.
