- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat if garlic begins to brown. Add green beans, then continue to cook and stir until bright green but not quite tender, about 4 minutes.
- Mix in tomatoes, lemon juice and pinenuts, and season with chives, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer gently uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.

A good way to use up those extra green beans! - 18 Sep 2012
So simple to make, colourful and flavoursome, a perfect way to make a vegetable special. I also used it as a starter; toasted English muffin lightly spread with pate, and a tablespoonful of the bean mixture on the pate. - 15 Feb 2018
I made this with about half the recommended amount of beans and it was sufficient for four people as a side. It was delicious, but I when I make it next will drain the excess fluid from the tomatoes as it did not reduce down as much as I thought it would. - 18 Jan 2018
