Green Bean Recipes
This is a recipe that we attribute to The Best Foods of Russia by Sonia
Uvezian. It's a tasty and delightful green bean dish unlike any other
we've had. It was our first attempt at Russian cuisine and a success!
We used regular fat sour cream but you can certainly substitute light.
We also used canned whole tomatoes, draining them well after chopping
them to prevent having too much liquid in the recipe.
Green Beans in Sour Cream & Tomato Sauce
1 lb. green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise (about 3 cups)
4 tbsp. butter
1 large onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 medium-sized green pepper, seeded, deribbed and chopped
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil
3/4 cup sour cream
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Drop the beans into lightly salted boiling water. Boil, uncovered for
about 10 minutes, or until tender and still somewhat firm to the bite.
Drain beans and set aside.
In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the onion
and green pepper and cook until soft, but not browned, stirring frequently.
Add the tomatoes and basil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add
the beans, mix well and lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Beat
the sour cream with salt and pepper (to taste) and stir it into the vegetables
gently, but thoroughly. Taste for seasoning.
