Spanish Style Greenbeans

  • I made this last night from a low carb cookbook I have and it was delicious. You may want to adjust the olives and capers to your liking!!

    -1/2 lb green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
    -1/2 green pepper, chopped
    -1/2 C seeded, chopped tomato (or canned if you want)
    -1/2 onion, chopped
    -1 T garlic, finely chopped
    -1 T olive oil
    -1 1/2 T chopped green olives (I use the spanish style)
    -1 T capers chopped
    -1/2 tsp olive juice--optional--(from the olives you use)
    -salt and pepper to taste

    Add oil, green beans, green pepper, tomato, onion, garlic, salt and pepper to a hot skillet. Cook about five minutes then cover and cook stirring occasionally until beans are crisp tender. Add olives, juice if using, and capers. Cook another 2 or 3 minutes. Enjoy!!!
