This week’s Green Beans Marianna is a perfect example. Marianna made these green beans often, just as her mother had before her, following a preparation passed down through generations of their Sicilian family. Green Beans Marianna can be served warm or at room temperature, and leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for several days. Thinly slicing rather than mincing the fresh garlic gives Green Beans Marianna plenty of flavor without overwhelming the delicate green beans. Extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, thinly sliced garlic, salt and pepper create the simple vinaigrette for Green Beans Marianna.
