Stewed Green Beans and Poblanos

from Martha Stewart Living

Ingredients

Serves 12.

* 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 1/2 medium onions, thinly sliced
* 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
* 3 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
* 3 poblano chiles, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1/4-inch strips (3 cups)
* 1 cup water
* 1 tablespoon coarse salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to caramelize, about 13 minutes.
2. Add garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add green beans, chiles, water, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until green beans and chiles are tender and liquid has evaporated, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
