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 microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
