A delightful side dish featuring tender green beans, colorful bell peppers, and aromatic herbs, topped with savory Parmesan cheese.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for about 3 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Blanching the green beans helps retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning and becoming bitter.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet along with the dried basil, oregano, thyme, and black pepper. Stir to combine, cover, and cook on low heat for 7 minutes.
Covering the skillet helps the flavors meld together while cooking.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
