Green Beans And Artichokes With Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

GREEN BEANS AND ARTICHOKES WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Sautee the garlic in the butter over medium heat for about 1 minute.
• Add the whole green beans and toss with the garlic. Cover and cook the beans until they are done.
• Add the artichoke hearts (I cut them into quarters)and sundried tomatoes. Cook until just heated through.
• Add the cream cheese (you may want to use only 1/2 the package, but I use it all).
• Heat until the cream cheese has melted and the dish is bubbling. Add salt and pepper to taste.

GREEN BEAN AND ARTICHOKE "SAUTE"

Steps:

• In a glass bowl large enough to hold beans and artichokes, mix lemon juice, vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 tablespoon each herbs, parsley and chives.

• Drain off as much of the marinade as possible.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Toss beans and artichoke hearts until heated through (about 3 or 4 minutes).
• Add 1/2 cup parsley and 1/4 cup chives.
• If using, add the chopped pimento (or sun-dried tomatoes) at the last minute for color.
• Serve immediately.
