Tomato and Runner Beans Salad

by Jamie Oliver

Ingredients

250g runner beans, sliced diagonally into 1cm pieces
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
A few good lugs extra virgin olive oil
1/2 can chopped tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Steam the beans in a foil covered colander over your potatoes or blanch in salted boiling water until tender. Whilst the beans are cooking, make a quick tomato sauce by frying the garlic gently in some olive oil. Add the tomatoes and bring to the boil. Add a little salt and pepper and simmer for about 15 minutes until you have a thick tomato sauce. Season, to taste. Stir the beans into the sauce until they are all covered.

This veg bag scheme is one of the few good new things to have happened this year. It has been wonderful to have such a wide variety of delicious veg, always fresh and bursting with flavour.
