By: Merlot
Jun 12, 2002
This makes for a pretty dish and is easy to assemble. If you don't have the fresh vegetables on hand, you can easily adapt with canned goods. I get requests for the recipe all the time.
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs green beans
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- salt
- pepper
- 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Directions
1
Cook beans in water, until tender.2
In a fry, melt butter and add garlic salt, sugar, basil, salt and pepper.3
Swish cherry tomato halves around until barely soft and heated, but not squishy.4
Add the drained beans and mix well.5
(TO SAVE TIME, you can use drained canned green beans instead of fresh green beans and canned stewed tomatoes instead of fresh cherry tomatoes. Just add the canned vegetables to the butter/basil mixture and heat through. I do this frequently and it works o).

I've made this twice now - once using canned stewed tomatoes, and once using fresh cherry tomatoes. Both variations turned out great, but we actually liked the canned tomatoes best. They created more of a sauce, and were a bit more sweet. Delicious either way, and a new staple at our house!

YUM!!! I didn't have any basil, so I added oregano. Still yummy! All 3 of my kids ate it up (probably because of the bit of sweetness)! Thanks so much.

I loved the flavor of this dish and it looks beautiful on the table. I only added a half teaspoon of sugar, as I was afraid it would be too sweet for our tastes, and it was just perfect. Great recipe, thanks for posting!

This was fabulously tasty and easy! I used fresh green beans and that seemed to make a real difference! I didn't have garlic salt so I used garlic powder instead. The combination of butter, sugar, basil and garlic is quite outstanding, and perfect for tomatoes and beans. This makes 4 really generous servings, but even so, this recipe is guaranteed to be gobbled whole... it's really exceptional. Thanks Merlot, this one will be a regular!
