Here ya go! It's super easy - just get the chopping done beforehand. I always get the annoying chopping done ahead of time, then everything goes really quickly when it's time to make them. Let me know if you liked it!

Spanish Green Beans

2 lbs. green beans, washed and cut into one-inch pieces
2 red bell peppers, minced
olive oil
2 TB balsamic vinegar
2 TB lemon juice (less or optional)
1/2 purple onion, minced
Dozen or more cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt (start with lesser amount)
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup chopped green Spanish olives with pimientos

Steam beans to al dente and set aside.

Saute onions, garlic and red peppers until soft. Then add everything but the beans and cook a few more minutes.

Add the beans, stirring every few minutes and saute on medium low, tasting as you go.

The key to this recipe in my opinion is the balsamic vinegar and the olives. If this turns out too dull to your tastes, add a little more chopped olives.

ENJOY!!
