Easy and tasty recipe for green beans... one of the few veggies everyone in my family eats. I only used a 14.5 oz can of tomatoes (Italian stewed tomatoes because that's all I had). I think a 28 oz can would have been too much tomato for us. Left out the olives too. So it was probably a bit more of an Italian flavor than Greek. I think I'll use regular diced tomatoes next time. Thanks... it will be a "regular" recipe!

This was a nice change from plain green beans. I omitted the olives and halved the recipe. I ushe store only had cut green beans instead of french cut, so it took much longer than 8 minutes to cook the green beans. The feta was a nice addition. I served these as a side with chicken souvlaki and tzaziki sauce from Cooking Light, and store bought pita and hummus. A very nice Greek-inspired dinner. Thanks for posting.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
