Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans green beans, drained
  • 1 onion, medium sized, thinly sliced
  • garlic, 2 teaspoons minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Saute the onion, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat until the onions begin to start getting tender.
  • Pour the green beans on top of the onion mixture and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes on low heat so that the beans can begin to take on the onion flavor.
  • Add in the soy sauce, vinegar and two more tablespoons of the olive oil and half of a cup of water.
  • Stir mixture together and cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes.
  • Before serving, drizzle the last tablespoon of the olive oil over the beans and season to taste with salt and pepper.
