To prepare a delicious green bean dish, the first step is to take care of the beans. Start by washing the green beans well under a stream of cold water, ensuring you remove any impurities. Then, trim the beans by cutting off the ends and, if necessary, cutting them into smaller pieces so they cook evenly.
In a deep skillet or pot, add a little oil and heat it over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté the onion for a few minutes until it becomes translucent and starts to release its aroma. Then, add the diced bell pepper, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste, to enhance the flavors. Continue to sauté the mixture for a few minutes until the pepper becomes slightly soft.
After the vegetables are sautéed, add two cups of water over the onion and pepper mixture. Cover the skillet and let it simmer over medium heat to allow the flavors to develop. When the water starts to boil, add the cleaned beans. If necessary, add more water, making sure the beans are covered.
Let the dish simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans become tender. This process takes about 20-30 minutes. When the beans are cooked, it's time to prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix two tablespoons of broth with a little water, then add the mixture to the skillet. This will add a note of flavor and color to the dish.
In a small cup, combine a teaspoon of flour with warm water, mixing well to avoid lumps. Using a strainer, pour the flour mixture over the dish, stirring constantly to achieve a uniform consistency. Adjust the salt if needed, and continue stirring to prevent sticking.
Once the sauce has started to thicken, remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, which will add a note of freshness and color. The green bean dish can be served alongside a slice of toasted bread or a mixed salad, which will perfectly complement this healthy and tasty dish. This recipe is ideal for four servings and can be prepared in about an hour. Enjoy your meal!
