Green Beans with Red Pepper, Olive, and Feta Relish

INGREDIENTS

• 11 pounds green beans trimmed

• 1 cup diced jarred roasted red peppers well drained

• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

• 1/3 cup sliced kalamata olives

• 1 cup diced red onion

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large saucepan, blanch green beans in boiling salted water for 4 to 6 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Plunge into a bowl of ice and water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels. (This can be done ahead of time.)

2. In a bowl, place diced roasted peppers, feta, olives, onion, oil, vinegar, and black pepper. Gently toss to combine.

3. Place a skillet over medium-high. Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and top with relish mixture.
