I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Yield: 4 servings, each with 11 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fiber, for a total of 8 grams of usable carbs and 3 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, finely minced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 bag (1 pound) frozen, cut green beans, thawed
  • 1/2 cup diced canned tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or bouillon
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute for a minute or two.
  2. Drain the beans and add them to the skillet, stirring to coat. Saute the beans for 6 to 7 minutes, adding another tablespoon of oil if the skillet starts to get dry.
  3. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, and wine.
  4. Turn up the heat to medium-high, and let everything simmer until the beans are just tender-crisp and most of the liquid has cooked off (about 5 minutes).
  5. Serve hot.
