Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 30 min.

Prepare and cook 12.3 oz green beans.

Cut into small pieces and set aside.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Wash 5.3 oz cherry tomatoes, then cut in half and sprinkle with fine salt.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Slice ½ shallot.

In a large saucepan over high heat, pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and when hot, add ½ bayleaf, ½ sprig thyme and ½ garlic clove.

Add the chopped shallot, season with salt and pepper, stir and cook for 1 minute without browning.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Add the cherry tomatoes and mix again.

Stage 7 - 10 min.

If you don't have cherry tomatoes on hand, replace them with chopped tomatoes ( peeled if possible).
