Braising is an often overlooked technique for preparing green beans, but it's a game-changer. These beans will make you rethink your cooking methods. They turn tender and moist, absorbing delicious flavors from the tomatoes while maintaining a satisfying crunch
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Ingredients
- ½ cup (75g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups (185g) green beans, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons black olives, pitted and halved
Preparation
- Add all the ingredients except the dill and olives into the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).

Serving suggestions & tips
- Try using diced heirloom tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes.
- Add feta cheese for pockets of creamy saltiness.
- Try it with basil, parsley, or chives.
Recipe notes
- If using frozen beans, cook them from frozen for the same amount of time.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
