Steamed green beans with tomato and basil

Today it is vegetables, specifically a classic of our tables: green beans with tomato. In this case, we steam the beans at the same time we prepare the sauce. So go preparing the varoma container ... today it has to work.

Here the only difficulty may be in the tomato. Depending on how liquid the pulp of your tomatoes is, you will have to add more or less water. My advice is that before reaching those 35 minutes of cooking, take a look at the salsa, be careful not to burn yourself, in case you had to add liquid to prevent it from seizing.

Otherwise it is very simple. You can use tomatoes natural -in a small table they will be in their maximum splendor-, canned tomatoes (of those of pear), pulp ...

And if you want to try a different and even lighter tomato sauce, I leave you this link. You will have a sauce similar to that of fried tomato but it does not have any oil.
