Green Beans and Feta

The green beans from our CSA 1/2 share looked a little mature, so I decided I needed to do something more than just steaming them.  I used my goat cheese feta and a red pepper that was also from our Seton Harvest haul.  I didn't eat any of the pepper (nightshade), but we had company for dinner so I included it.

INGREDIENTS

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 pound green beans, washed and with ends removed, cut into 1" pieces

1/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the peppers, garlic, salt & pepper and saute 5-7 minutes, or until peppers are tender.  Add the green beans and wine to the peppers.  Cover and cook about 10 minutes, until beans are tender.  Stir the green bean mixture.  Add the feta cheese, cover, and cook an additional 3 minutes, or until the feta is soft.
