I have come to use wild garlic in as many dishes as possible, especially in spring when I find it fresh at the market. It’s an ingredient that changes the flavor of any ordinary dish. I make this green bean dish with wild garlic sauce when I have frozen green beans from my garden and a jar of canned tomatoes from the season. It’s not complicated at all and doesn’t require much attention to detail. Quick Info Total time: about 45-55 minutes Preparation time: 10-15 minutes Cooking time: 35-40 minutes Servings: 4-5 Difficulty: easy Recipe type: main dish for fasting or everyday side dish Ingredients 1 kg green beans (pods) – preferably home-frozen 1 jar canned tomatoes (homemade) 3 potatoes 2-3 tablespoons oil 2 bunches wild garlic 1 onion salt pepper dill Preparation method 1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters or cubes, as you prefer. Boil them in a pot with enough water to cover them and a little salt. 2. While the potatoes are boiling, peel and finely chop the onion. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion until it becomes slightly translucent without browning too much. 3. Add the washed and finely chopped wild garlic over the onion, stir gently, and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes just to soften. 4. Add the crushed or finely chopped tomatoes to the pan, stir, and let everything simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens – generally about 10-12 minutes. Turn off the heat after the sauce has reduced. 5. Once the potatoes are almost cooked (not falling apart), add the green beans to the pot. 6. Pour the wild garlic and tomato sauce over the potatoes and green beans. Add a little water if needed, and let it simmer together for another 15-20 minutes on low heat. 7. Finally, sprinkle with chopped dill, adjust salt and pepper, turn off the heat, and let it rest a bit before serving. Why I make this recipe often It’s a good solution when I have beans and tomatoes stored in the freezer or jar. It’s quick to prepare and doesn’t require meat or other additions. Wild garlic completely changes the flavor without needing too many spices. It remains just as good the next day. Tips and Variations Tips If using fresh beans, adjust the boiling time – frozen ones cook faster. Don’t boil the potatoes too much at the beginning to avoid them breaking apart at the end. The sauce shouldn’t be too liquid, but it shouldn’t reduce too much either. Substitutions In the absence of wild garlic, you can use green garlic or even chopped garlic, but the taste won’t be the same. Dill can be replaced with parsley if you don’t like it. Variations You can add carrots at the beginning, boiled together with the potatoes, for a bit of sweetness. If you’re not fasting, a splash of sour cream when serving works too. For those who want a heartier dish, you can add a handful of rice, but then adjust the amount of water a bit. Serving Ideas The dish is good warm, but it can also be served at room temperature. It can be served as a main dish with fresh bread or as a side dish alongside a simple piece of meat, if you’re not fasting. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use canned or jarred beans? You can also use canned ones, but reduce the total boiling time and add the beans directly towards the end to avoid them turning mushy. 2. If I don’t have homemade tomatoes, what store-bought option is suitable? Any crushed or diced canned tomatoes without added sugar or flavors will work. 3. Can the dish be made without potatoes? Yes, just with beans and wild garlic sauce, but the result will be lighter and less filling. 4. What do I do if wild garlic is out of season? You can freeze wild garlic in spring and use it anytime, or, as mentioned above, substitute with green garlic. 5. Is the dish suitable for children? Yes, for those who already eat vegetables and have no restrictions on wild garlic. For small children, be careful with the spices. Nutritional Values Estimate for one serving (out of 5): approximately 150-180 kcal. Carbohydrates: 28-30 g Protein: 4-5 g Fats: 3-5 g No added sugar, low in fat, high in fiber and vitamins from vegetables. Values may vary slightly depending on quantities and types of vegetables used. Storage and Reheating It keeps well in the fridge, in a container with a lid, for 2-3 days. When reheating, add a little water if the sauce has thickened too much. Freezing is not recommended, as the vegetables change texture.
