Green Beans in Roasted Pepper sauce

For 2 as a main course (4 for appetizer)


250g Green Beans

3 Red Peppers

4 large cloves of garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt to taste


To make the Roasted Pepper sauce:
  1. Cut the heads off the peppers and remove the seeds.

  2. Cut peppers in 1/2

  3. Place on a baking tray with cut side down.

  4. Set oven to HIGH Broil. Put the peppers in the oven for 8-12 minutes until the top is black.

  5. Remove from the oven and immediately put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. This allows the peppers to steam and makes it easy to remove the skin.

  6. Remove skin from the peppers - it should just peel off.

  7. Blend peppers and garlic for about 2 minutes until it is pureed. You do not need to add any oil or water the moisture in the peppers should be enough.

To make the Green Beans:
  1. Heat the pan on a high flame. Add the olive oil.

  2. Add beans and stir - cook beans until they are slightly brown (about 3 minutes).

  3. Add Roasted Pepper sauce and stir. Cover and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt to taste.
