  Used this to accompany a fish dish. Really lovely, and so convenient as I cooked the beans before guests arrived. I didn't use a barbecue, but this was still a very tasty side dish.

  I used frozen beans which I defrosted under running cold water. I dried them well on kitchen paper and scattered them on a baking tray and topped with the vine tomatoes. Sprinkled with olive oil and baked them for 20 mins at 180 degrees. I used them to accomapny salmon ( baked in the oven on the same tray)and spiced lentils. A very fast and convenient meal but looks special enough for a dinner party.

  The combination of tomatoes and green beans was lovely. I cooked mine slightly differently though. 1. cooked green beans. 2. heated a knob of butter in a pan, and gently fried 2 cloves of crushed garlic. 3. stirred in halved cherry tomatoes and gently cooked for 5 minutes. 4. added a handful of torn basil leaves. 5. stirred in green beans. WONDERFUL

  This sounds nice. I'll do it the way middle_pin2 suggests, as I'm not using a barbecue... Thank you.

  Excellent side dish which complimented a smaked haddock dish perfectly. Slightly heavy on the olive oil, but not too much to spoil it. As far as prep and cooking is concerned, easier than an easy thing!
