This one-pot dish is a great side dish, and makes our heritage Italian onions the star of the show.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
- 2 Long Red Florence onions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup water
- ¾ pound (12 ounces) French string beans (haricots verts), trimmed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch sugar
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown.
2. Add the beans, salt, pepper and water; bring to a boil. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 8 minutes.
3. Remove the lid and increase the heat to high. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is evaporated, the beans are tender, and the onions are jammy, about 6 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Serve warm.
