Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, preparing it for sautéing.
- Sauté onion: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft, releasing its natural sweetness.
- Cook garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute to enhance the flavor without burning it.
- Cook potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until they start to brown and soften.
- Add green beans and seasoning: Mix in the trimmed green beans, then season with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika, distributing the flavors evenly throughout the skillet.
- Simmer until tender: Continue cooking the vegetables for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until both the potatoes and green beans are tender and well cooked.
- Serve hot: Once cooked through, remove from heat and serve the skillet dish warm as a side or main vegetable entrée.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving.
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or any neutral oil of your choice.
- Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on the size of your potato dice to ensure they cook evenly.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be served as a vegetarian main with a side of crusty bread.
- Adding a splash of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
