Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 1/2 pound fresh green beans, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 large whole garlic bulb
  • 2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 medium sweet red peppers, cut into large chunks
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Method

  • In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Add beans; bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place beans in ice water; drain and pat dry.
  • Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off garlic bulb. Place cut side up in a greased 15x10x 1-in. baking pan. Add potatoes; drizzle with broth. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 30-40 minutes or until garlic is softened.
  • Remove garlic; set aside. Add the red peppers, onions and reserved beans to the pan. Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until tender. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Squeeze softened garlic into a large bowl. Stir in the vinegar, oil, sugar, rosemary and salt. Add vegetables; toss to coat. Serve warm or cold.
