The green beans are in at the Farmer's Market, and here is one of my favorite recipes

The recipe says to add garlic salt and coarse sea salt, which I do, Very easy, great flavor, and beautiful presentation.

Our cherry tomatoes are not in yet, but those Nature Sweet "Cherubs" which come in the yellow, domed clam shells at the supermarket are really tasty right now.

YUM! I love the idea of adding garlic, basil and green beans. Thx for posting.

I love fresh green beans roasted--like eating candy. Also just stir fried with a little

butter or flavored olive oil and then with a squeeze of lemon juice and zest of a lemon.

I love the lemon infused green beans too....usually how I fix them, but those little

cherub tomatoes were so tasty! Green beans are one veggie I have not roasted yet.

Oh, then there are the ones I make for Thanksgiving. Crisp bacon, saute onion and garlic, add fresh green beans with a good tomato sauce, a little chicken stock and cook until done. Very yummy and our family loves them this way. I add s & p, and a bit of Turkish Oregano.

Your t'giving beans sound a bit like a dish here called Greek green beans. And yes to

the blistered cherry tomatoes added to various veggies. Did some sauteed zucchini, onions and tomatoes the other day that were a hit.
