Description
Green beans in tomato sauce are a classic Mediterranean side dish known for their comforting simplicity and bold flavor. This version features tender green beans slowly simmered in a rich tomato base, infused with chopped garlic, fresh cilantro, and finished with a touch of bright lemon juice.
Cooked until perfectly soft yet intact, the beans absorb the acidity of the tomatoes and the aromatics of the garlic and herbs. Cilantro adds a fragrant, earthy depth while the lemon balances the richness with a clean citrus lift.
This dish is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it a popular option for plant-based diners and Mediterranean food lovers alike. Often served as part of a mezze platter or alongside roasted meats, rice, or warm pita, these green beans in tomato sauce are as versatile as they are flavorful.
