Let me preface this entry by saying that I dont really like green beans. They dont do it for me, so when I say a green bean recipe is good... IT IS! ;)
I made this awhile ago so my apologies for the lack of precision.
In a saute pan, heat olive oil with lots of garlic (I used soem fresh and some frozen cubes - I like the frozen cubes because they are in paste form and really coat veggies well). Add 1/2 an onion, diced. Cook until the onion starts to brown on medium-med high.
Meanwhile, steam beans until JUST turning bright green (err on the side of undercooking rather than overcooking).
Toss the beans into the pan on medium high (my stove runs cool so I put it on high). You want it hot enough that the beans will get some dark color. After a minute or so, add cerry or grape tomatos, halved. Cook on a hot pan stirring occassionally until the beans and tomatos are starting to blister a bit.
Season with salt and pepper and top with Parmesan!
VERY flavorful!

I love sauteed green beans. I love them even more topped with tomatoes. I usually dice a plum or roma tomato, so I'll have to try it with cherry or grape!
I am always looking for new ways to prepare vegetables, so I will definitely be trying this recipe!
