2 boxes (7.4 oz each) Cascadian Farm® frozen organic French-cut green beans with toasted almonds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® organic diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper, if desired
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cook beans as directed on boxes, reserving almonds; drain.

Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes, oregano and red pepper. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and most of liquid is evaporated.

Spoon drained beans onto serving platter; top with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and reserved almonds.

Makes 8 servings (2/3 cup each).

Did You Know? Classic Greek feta cheese is traditionally made from sheep's milk, but much of what we find in the market is made from cow's milk. Either type adds a characteristic pungent, tangy flavor to dishes.

Green Beans with Tomatoes and Feta
   #112635
 Paula (Illinois) says:
This was VERY easy and awesome...however...what I did was omit the dried oregano and used 2 fresh sprigs, fresh green beans (snapped in half) and fresh tomatoes. I did the onion in a pan with a coating of extra virgin olive oil on the bottom with the garlic. I then added the green beans and cooked them for a bit. Instead of just adding the tomatoes and feta on top, I incorporated them into the dish and warmed them in the pan for about 2 minutes. This was a truly better way to eat this dish. We ate this with salmon with a maple soy sauce base. I highly recommend this dish :)
