Green Beans with Tomatoes and Feta

Ingredients:

Two 7.4 ounce boxes Cascadian Farm frozen organic French cup green beans with toasted almonds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion sliced
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
One 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves undrained
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper if desired
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions:

1. Cook beans as directed on box, reserving almonds; drain.
2. Meanwhile in a 10 inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic in olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is crisp-tender. Stir in the tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper. Heat until boiling. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and most of the liquid is evaporated.
3. Spoon the drained beans into a serving platter; top with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with feta cheese and the reserved almonds.

This recipe is from the Best Life Diet book. I was not able to find the exact beans they asked for so i just used frozen french cut green beans. I loved the addition of feta cheese to the bean mixture. Really good! Another easy healthy veggie side dish
