Method

  1. Clean the coral beans by removing the stem end where they attach to the plant.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the beans. Cook until tender but still slightly crunchy, testing after a couple of minutes.
  3. Drain the beans and set aside.
  4. In a pan, heat abundant extra virgin olive oil. Add finely chopped white onion and two cloves of garlic, and sauté until soft.
  5. Cut the tomatoes into pieces, removing the core. Add them to the pan and cook until they begin to break down.
  6. Add the drained beans to the pan. Season with salt. Stir well, cover, and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  7. Remove the lid, add fresh basil leaves, give a final stir, and turn off the heat.
  8. Serve the beans warm, optionally with grilled meat or bread.
