Created by CookingLight Magazine• Course: Side Dishes • Diet: Vegan • Season(s): Summer, Fall
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1/4 tablespoon crushed red pepper
- 3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 pounds small (new) potatoes, a strip peeled from around each
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
Instructions
Heat oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes.
Add stock, salt, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer. Simmer 10 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced with a fork but still firm.
Add green beans, cover, and simmer until very tender, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes and green beans to a serving dish. Bring the liquid to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Spoon over the vegetables, and gently fold to mix. Serve hot.
