Tomato Marinated Greens And Beans Toast Recipes

MARINATED GREEN BEANS WITH OLIVES, TOMATOES, AND FETA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat and drop in the green beans; cook until slightly tender, but still crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately drain the green beans and plunge into ice water to stop the beans from cooking further. Drain the beans and place them in a shallow serving dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic in the oil for about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the olives, tomatoes, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over green beans. Toss together until beans are evenly coated. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top and garnish with oregano sprigs. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.

GREEN BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Trim ends of beans and leave them whole.
• Drop beans into a saucepan with salted boiling water. Cook until crisp tender, about 3 to 5 minutes according to the size of the beans. Do not overcook. Drain and let cool.
• Cut away the core of each tomato, and cut it into wedges.
• In a salad bowl, add mustard, vinegar, shallots, garlic, oil, salt and pepper and blend with a wire whisk. Add beans and tomatoes, toss well. Sprinkle with basil.

ROASTED TOMATO AND BUTTER BEAN TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the butter beans on one side of a baking dish and the tomatoes on the other side. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the 2 sliced garlic cloves and a sprinkle of sea salt all over.
• Sprinkle the sage only over the butterbeans and drizzle the Worcestershire sauce only over the tomatoes. Toss each section individually with a couple of spoons and keep separate, to keep the flavors separate.
• Bake until the butter beans start to turn golden and the cherry tomatoes are soft and roasted, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Meanwhile, put the slices of baguette on a baking sheet, drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and toast in the oven until golden, about 12 minutes. Then remove to cool.
• When the toasts are cool, rub one side of each with the remaining whole garlic clove.
• To assemble, lay some of the butter beans (about 4) on each toast, pressing down gently with a fork to slightly crush so they do not roll around. Arrange 2 roasted tomatoes on top and garnish with a few chives. Arrange on a serving plate and eat!

MARINATED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• Core 1 1/2 pounds small green tomatoes and cut into wedges. Bring 2 cups water and 1/2 cup white wine vinegar to a boil in a saucepan. Add the tomatoes in batches and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain and let cool. Whisk 1/4 cup each white wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped parsley and chopped mint and 1 tablespoon each kosher salt, sugar and minced Fresno chile in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes and toss. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

GREEN BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Add the bacon to a large Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until light golden (not crisp). Drain off the excess fat.
• Add the onions to the pot; cook until the bacon and onions are golden brown. Add the green beans and tomatoes, and season to taste with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir gently to combine.
• Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.

GREEN BEANS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND MUSTARD SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except mustard seeds and toss to coat. Transfer green beans and tomatoes. Transfer vegetables to prepared pan and sprinkle mustard seeds over top. Roast 15 to 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender and golden.

SMOKY BEANS AND GREENS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium. Brush the bread on both sides with the olive oil. Lay the bread in the skillet and cook, pressing occasionally with a spatula, until crisp and golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. (If your slices are large, you may have to do this in two batches.) Set the bread aside.
• Heat a Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until it has browned a little and rendered at least a tablespoon of fat, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it has softened and turned golden, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme (if using), red pepper flakes, and, if you're using canned beans, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and cook, stirring, for a minute or two.
• Add the slightly wet kale in batches, using tongs to stir the leaves into the onion mixture; wait for one handful of kale to wilt and shrink before adding the next. When the last of the greens has been added, add the beans and broth. Raise the heat and let the beans and greens simmer for a minute or two, just to warm the beans and bring the flavors together. Taste and add more kosher salt if necessary.
• Serve the greens and beans over the toast in wide, shallow bowls, dusted with a little more smoked paprika.

SEA BASS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine tomatoes, onion, and garlic on prepared sheet. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil; toss to coat. Spread in even layer. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast until onion begins to brown, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet from oven; increase temperature to 450°F. Mix beans, curry and ginger into tomato mixture; top with fish. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Spoon some tomato mixture over fish. Roast until fish are just opaque in center, about 18 minutes. Transfer fish to plates, spooning tomato mixture over.
