Green Beans Cooked in Tomatoes

At this time of year, the variety of locally grown fruit and vegetables increases massively as plants begin to mature and give up their precious cargo for our dinner plates.

We have an area at the end of our garden which we use as a vegetable plot. It is only a small area, but nonetheless big enough to grow a good selection of our favourite veg, from squashes and onions to sweet corn and tomatoes. One thing we plant every year without fail are French climbing green beans.

Because they are trained to grow up bean poles, they are really space-efficient and in a good year when the weather is kind, we get an abundance of these tender, green, skinny sticks. Some we eat gently steamed or boiled al dente as an accompaniment to meals and some we blanch and fast-freeze to save for the winter months. But our favourite bean dish is French green beans cooked in tomatoes, – a dish which comes from my childhood, cooked by my mother and her mother before her and which has its roots in Italy from where my grandmother originated.

It is a simple rustic dish, packed with flavours which remind me of summer.

Before we went gluten free, we ate it with crusty French bread. These days we have it with toast, or freshly baked cheese bread and sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. It is wonderful with garlic bread, Soft Roti Flatbread or Pandebonos (South American Cheese Bread) and can be eaten cold as a salad or antipasti.

It is absolutely delicious, very healthy and freezes perfectly if you have any leftovers to save for a quick meal or to eat later as a side dish.

Green Beans Cooked in Tomatoes

Ingredients

500g French green beans – washed, trimmed and cut in half
1 large onion – finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic – crushed
400g tin chopped tomatoes
25g butter/dairy free alternative
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to season
Parmesan cheese – freshly grated (optional)

Method

    1. Heat the butter and oil in a deep frying pan or sauté pan and gently fry the onions and garlic until soft and golden.

 

    1. Add the tomatoes and bring to the boil, stirring well to combine.

 

    1. Add the beans and season with salt and pepper.

 

    1. Stir well and leave simmering gently, with the lid on the pan for about 45 minutes, until the beans are soft. Check occasionally and give a gentle stir.

 

  1. Serve hot or warm with a bread of your choice, sprinkled liberally with Parmesan cheese. Or eat cold as an antipasti.

Without Parmesan, this dish is easily Vegan. Sub with grated vegan cheese.

Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see just how amazing it looks inside 😆. It’s super-moist gluten free deliciousness and would be brilliant for Mother’s Day or Easter. What do you reckon? Special enough for your Mum?
This recipe was literally developed originally for one of my followers who needed it for a special celebration. The feedback was super-good and I have to agree. It’s the best gluten free carrot cake I’ve ever had... and it’s certainly up there with the best of the gluten versions too. So if you love carrot cake... this one’s for you 😘.
You know me... If it’s not as good as I can possibly get, it doesn’t leave my kitchen xx
Grab the recipe from the blog 🥕💜🎁

Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed? I think Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed?
I think the answer may just be YES! Even when you’re gluten free 😆. And for all those who asked whether my Incredible Hot Cross Bun recipe could be made with Chocolate Chips instead of fruit? The evidence is undeniable. 
LOOK at these babies! Big... fat... glorious... chocolate chip Hot Cross Buns 😊😘😋👏😁
Yes or no???

Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚 They are tot Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚
They are totally yummy with monster yolks that are super-rich and creamy. Each egg is equivalent to 3 to 4 hens eggs. And they make the most incredible Goose Egg Scotch Eggs 😍
They have a really short season from about the end of February to June. And the geese have just started laying. 
We’re really lucky to get our eggs from a wonderful free-range supplier and they always let us know when goose eggs are available. You can use them for usual baking too... I totally recommend them for brownies.
I’ve put a recipe for making Goose Egg Scotch Eggs on the blog... If you see any eggs..: grab them while you can 😘

The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When wa The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When was the last time you had a perfect Hot Cross Bun? Easter all wrapped up in  a delicious fluffy, spiced, doughy ball, stuffed full of juicy fruit. Best buns ever! No one will ever know these babies are gluten free 😁
I am super proud of this recipe. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to create a gluten free bun with such an incredible texture... and I really didn’t think it was possible to create a Hot Cross Bun that would stay fresh enough to eat 48+ hours after baking... No toaster needed. 😊
But I’ve done it. I’ve pulled it out of the bag. Amazing 👏👏👏
Heads up... When I first started on developing this recipe, I truly wanted to make a simple one-bowl job. But that wasn’t possible. Texture and flavour were the absolute priority and this ultimately meant the recipe had to be carefully crafted  to make this happen. If you want the best, you sometimes have to work a little bit harder. 
But no word of a lie... these are SO worth the effort. 
Even better, I’ve worked out the dough can be frozen part way through the process... which means you can split the batch ready to bake up fresh with little effort later ☑️
Who wants the recipe? It’s now written up and on the blog... link in my profile (click lnk.bio)  #hotcrossbuns #easter #glutenfreehotcrossbuns #glutenfreerecipecreator #glutenfreeuk #glutenfreeeaster #glutenfreefoodporn #perfectbuns #singluten #glutenfrei #senzagluten #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #feedfeed #feedfeedglutenfree #easterbuns #thebakefeed #huffposttaste #glutenfreealchemist #foodblogger #eeeeeats #bakersofinstagram #glutenfreebaking #foodblogfeed #bakersgonnabake #f52grams #instafood #glutenfreeeats #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks

Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flak Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flakes? I really like it. It makes a nice change from oats and is a great alternative for anyone who can’t eat oats too.
It’s got a nice earthy bite and pairs perfectly with fruit and nuts. I always sprinkle a few cacao nibs on my porridge too. It’s funny how we have ‘must haves’ to go with some foods. 
Have you got a favourite porridge topping?  #porridge #glutenfreeporridge #milletporridge #porridgebowl #porridgewithfruits #cookedtoperfection #porridgewithoutoats #glutenfreeuk #breakfastideas #cookblogshare #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #porridgeporn #forkyeah #tastemademedoit #eeeeats #instafood #foodporn #foodphotography #healthyfood #healthybowl #porridgepassion #foodblogger
