Total Time

Ingredients

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 medium red onions (about 1 3/4 pounds), cut into 16 wedges each
1 lb green beans, trimmed
½ cup vegetable broth
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp light brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain.

3. Add broth to the onions; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Add the beans, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Serve warm.

Tip: Commercial vegetable broth is readily available in natural-foods stores and many supermarkets. We especially like the Imagine and Pacific brands, sold in convenient aseptic packages that allow you to use small amounts and keep the rest refrigerated.
