Ethnic green bean recipes.

This recipe comes courtesy of The Complete Mediterranean, The Beautiful Cookbook. There are several variations of this recipe. Another Tuscan variation of this recipe calls for the addition of one teaspoon of fresh marjoram, which we'd suggest you add right at the end of cooking for the freshest flavor. For a Lebanese flair you can use tomato paste in place of the chopped plum tomatoes and add parsley, mint, dill or oregano to taste.

Italian Green Beans
Fagiolini Di Sant' Anna (St. Anna Beans)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 lbs. green beans (Chinese long beans if you can get them)
10 oz. plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped
Salt, pepper

In a large skillet over low heat warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and fry gently until translucent, about 3 minutes. (don't let the garlic burn. If it does, start over, burned garlic will ruin any dish) Add the green beans and tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat and cook approximately 15 minutes, until the beans are tender.

A guide to canning fresh green beans
France is the birthplace of modern canning. During the Revolutionary War the government of France needed a way to make food available for it's troops out in the field. They offered a money reward to the first person who could come up with a way to do this. In 1809 a French confectioner developed a vacuum sealing method using glass jars. Thus canning was born.
