Prep Time: 10mins

Cook Time: 25mins

Total Time: 35 mins

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon all purpose seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp vegetable seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth (or water)
  • 1/2 small red pepper (minced)

 

Directions:

 

 
 

  • In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter and the olive oil over medium heat. (You can add in the butter later on if you prefer like I did, it doesn’t matter when you do.)
  • Add the chopped onion, red pepper and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until they become fragrant and translucent. 
  • Add the cubed potatoes along with the chicken/vegetable stock to cook for about 8 mins and cover the pot. 

  • Now add the green beans to the pan. I added the butter at this point also.Sauté for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Season with salt, black pepper, all purpose and vegetable seasoning. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the seasonings.
  • Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and green beans are tender. Be sure to check and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Once the vegetables are tender and the liquid has reduced, remove from heat.
  • Serve your green beans and potatoes as a side dish with your favorite main course.
