<\/p>\nCharred Pole Beans with Heirloom Tomatoes and Basil<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 pound heirloom tomatoes (sliced)<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00bc C. extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
1 pound pole beans (trimmed)<\/p>\n
3 clove garlic (peeled and minced)<\/p>\n
2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00bc tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (or more to taste)<\/p>\n
kosher salt (as needed for seasoning)<\/p>\n
2 C. whole fresh basil leaves (lightly packed)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Spread the sliced heirloom tomatoes across a serving platter and set aside. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch or larger cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet. Add the pole beans and cook them in as close to a single layer as possible, tossing occasionally, until the beans are nicely charred; about 4\u00e2\u20ac\u201c5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Season with salt. Cook until the beans are just tender, while still retaining a bite, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the basil leaves until just wilted. Transfer to the platter of sliced heirlooms and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
