Green beans stewed in a rustic style

Instructions

1. 1

   To prepare the green beans stewed in a rustic style, first wash the green beans and remove the ends, then cut the bacon into strips. Place a pan, preferably cast iron or with a thick bottom, over heat, and add the bacon.

2. 2

   Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Brown the bacon well. Almost at the end of the browning, add the peeled garlic, cut in half and without the germ. After a few moments, just enough to flavor the oil with the garlic, also add the previously cleaned green beans. Brown them over medium heat, stirring frequently for a few minutes.

3. 3

   Then, add the chopped canned peeled tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper, and add the chopped parsley and basil.

4. 4

   Add a ladle of hot water, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for about 50 minutes, or until the green beans are tender. Make sure the preparation is always moist; if necessary, add a little hot water. Serve the green beans stewed in a rustic style with toasted bread.
