Whip up this stunning, vibrant vegetable side that's as simple as it is irresistible! Juicy cherry tomatoes burst with sweetness, creating a luscious sauce right in the pan, while deeply caramelized onions add rich, savory depth that'll have everyone reaching for seconds.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Vidalia onions, peeled, cut in half, and sliced
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 pints assorted cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large cast-iron skillet set over medium-high, combine the butter and olive oil until the mixture shimmers and is hot. Toss in the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Add the green beans, cherry tomatoes, and broth to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Place a lid on the skillet, lower the heat, and simmer until the green beans are crisp yet tender and the tomatoes have started to burst open, which should take around 13 to 15 minutes.
