Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 lbs red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 8 medium sized potatoes)
  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
  • 1 onion, chopped (medium to large onion)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • In a large pot, heat the oil and butter.
  • Add the potatoes and a teaspoon of salt along with a bit of black pepper, and cook until potatoes are brown on all sides.
  • Stir in the green beans and cook until they begin to brown and blister.
  • Add the onions and cook until they begin to soften and turn translucent.
  • Add the garlic and stir well.
  • Cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the parsley and rosemary and cook a few minutes until the rosemary begins to release its aromas.
  • Add the stock.
  • Reseason with salt and pepper as necessary.
  • Partly cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Enjoy!
  • NOTES:
  • Measurements for the herbs are given for dried herbs.
  • If you're using fresh, double or triple the amounts shown.
  • You can use chicken stock or water in place of the vegetable stock.
  • I always use veggie stock since I make my own and have tons on hand.
  • You'll get much better flavor using any kind of stock instead of water.
  • Like Chef de Roche, I prefer to leave the skin on the potatoes for the flavor, texture and vitamins, but the choice is yours.
