Tomatoes and green beans is one of the dishes I never liked growing up in the Balkans. That and tomato rice. It was regularly on my grandma’s menu.

Especially during summer when both tomatoes and green beans are in season. She’d make a huge pot and then we’d enjoy with lots of fresh bread. When I say “we’d enjoy” I mean the others. The old people. I usually ate only the bread. It took many years, but later in life, I became a huge fan of this dish too. In fact, I did some serious daydreaming for a week about the green beans before I finally made this meal. It’s SO good!

As you can tell, this recipe definitely brings back memories. It’s very simple, healthy, pretty cheap and tastes wonderful. It’s pretty versatile too. My hands were itching to add some spice when I was making it, but I controlled myself. Just in case the little ones wanted to have some. No luck there, but the green beans were gone anyways and everyone at the table was happy.

Ingredients For The Green Beans and Tomatoes

This simple tomatoes and green beans recipe has only six (yes, six) very easy-to-find ingredients:

Tomatoes. I originally made this dish in August, when tomatoes are abundant, so I used fresh tomatoes. Canned tomatoes can work too, but the flavor will be different and a bit less sweet.

Green Beans. Here I used a bag of frozen green beans. You can probably make this dish with fresh green beans too.

Onion and Garlic. And don’t be stingy with these flavorful vegetables! They are so important in this dish.

Olive oil and salt. To make the meal richer and to let the flavors really melt together. I recommend using extra virgin olive oil, but if you don’t like it, any type of oil will work.

What To Do With Leftovers

If there are any leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Then reheat when it’s time to serve.

I actually made a super tasty breakfast using eggs and the leftovers from this dish the other day.
