Green beans with cherry tomatoes and almonds
Simple to make, easy on the eye and delicious!
Here’s an old favourite with a little twist. Serve hot or cold as a side dish.
You need (for 6 people)
• 1 packet (250 g) cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• a pinch of sugar
• 2 bags of French beans
• a handful of rocket
• 1 packet (100 g) flaked, roasted almonds
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil (plus extra)
• juice of 1 lemon
• 3 anchovy fillets, chopped
Here’s how
1. Soft and tasty. Heat some olive oil in a pan and cook the cherry tomatoes until they’re soft and wrinkled. Season with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of sugar – it helps to cut the acidity of the tomatoes.
2. Pay attention now. Cook the beans for a minute (yes, just a minute) in boiling water. You want them crispy.
3. Make it pretty. Combine the tomatoes, beans, rocket and almonds in a serving dish.
4. A little sauce. Combine the olive oil, lemon and anchovy fillets. Beat with a fork and pour over as a dressing.
