Italian flat beans with creamy onions


Ingredients:

¾ pound Italian flat beans, tail ends cut off

1 large Spanish onion, sliced thinly

1 large garlic clove, chopped finely

1/2 cup white wine

1 1/2 cup cooking cream

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

 

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring salted water to boil. Prepare other ingredients in the meantime.

2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan and pan fry the onions on medium heat until soft and golden brown, stirring regularly to keep from burning.

3. Pour in wine and let it bubble away for 30 seconds on high heat. Then turn the heat down to low.

4. Add the beans to boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes.

5. While the beans are boiling, add garlic and cream to the onions and bring the heat up to medium. Stir in a good pinch of sea salt and pepper and saute for 1 minute. We want to cook the garlic off a little but still retain its punchy flavour.

6. Drain the beans and mix through with the creamy onions sauce.

7. Serve as a side dish or by itself with some crusty bread.
