Romano Beans and Tomatoes with Salmon
A hearty dish featuring the deep flavours of slow-cooked tomato sauce, perfect warm or cold. It’s packed with tomatoes, potatoes, and romano beans, finished with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. I’ve added mixed grain quinoa and pan-seared salmon for extra nutritional value, but you can keep it vegan by skipping the salmon.
Price range: €1.98 through €89.00
Step 1
Prepare your quinoa by cooking it as per packet instructions. Allow them to drain entirely from water and rest aside.
Braise The Beans With Tomatoes
Step 2
Place a wide pot on medium heat, then add a splash of olive oil, the onion and garlic and fry until lightly golden.
Step 3
Add your quartered tomatoes to the pot and toss through. Allow them to cook until onions and garlic are fragrant.
Step 4
Add your romano beans and cherry tomatoes (whole). Season well with salt and pepper and cook the romano beans and tomatoes for 2-3 minutes, mix them together as they cook.
Step 5
Add the can of diced tomatoes and nutmeg and mix through. Season again to taste.
Step 6
Now we want to add the potatoes and ensure they are sitting in tomato sauce.
Step 7
Close the pot with a lid. Allow it to simmer in the sauce for 30-40 minutes on low-medium heat until the beans are no longer a vibrant green and softened. Check on them occasionally and stir through.
Prepare The Salmon
Step 8
Cut the salmon fillet into thick, thumb size pieces and then place them into a small bowl with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and salt.
Step 9
Heat a frying pan & add the olive oil coated salmon to the pan and allow to cook for about 1 minute per side (or until cooked). Remove them from the heat and let them rest on a plate.
Step 10
Once your potatoes and beans are cooked through, take them off the heat. Mix quinoa through and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 11
Serve in a large flat plate with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add your salmon pieces on top and enjoy!
