(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, halved and very thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 lb. small red and gold potatoes, a strip peeled from the center of each
  • 1 lb. green beans, trimmed

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes.

  2. Add stock, salt, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer. Simmer 10 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced with a fork but still firm.

  3. Add green beans, cover, and simmer until very tender, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes and green beans to a serving dish. Bring the liquid to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Spoon over the vegetables, and gently fold to mix. Serve hot.
