Easy Vegetable Medley Recipe- this my go-to side dish recipe, super easy vegetable recipe that is perfect for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, tasty and easy to prepare!
First, skin and dice whole tomatoes. Fill a medium sauce pan 3/4 with water and bring to a rapid boil. Set up an ice bath next to the stove range. When the water comes to a boil submerge one tomato in with tongs and hold underneath water for 1 minute. Take it out and put it directly into the ice bath to cool for 30 seconds. Using a sharp knife, cut an "X" into the bottom skin and place back into ice bath. Repeat with the remaining tomato. The tomato skin should easily peel off. Cut off stemmed top. Dice into 1 inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium frying pan heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add potato, sautéing for 3-4 minutes. Then add celery, garlic and green beans,sauté for just 1 minute. Pour 1/4 cup water over mixture, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in cilantro, tomatoes and salt. Cover and cook an additional 3 minutes, or until ingredients warm. Do not allow diced tomatoes to start falling apart.
Lastly, stir in cayenne pepper. Serve.... enjoy!
