Spicy Tomato Braised Green Beans

Spicy Tomato Braised Green Beans

Braising is an often overlooked prep method when it comes to green beans. These will make you wonder why you haven’t been doing it all along. Tender and moist, the beans soak up flavorful juices from the tomatoes while still keeping a bit of crunch.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Add feta cheese for pockets of creamy saltiness.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
