Preparation

1. Cut tips off the beans, and if necessary remove the strings. Cut beans into 2-inch lengths.
2. Bring enough water to boil to cover beans when added. Add salt to taste, and the beans. Cook 5 minutes, or until tender; cooking time will depend on size. Drain thoroughly.
3. Core tomatoes, and cut into half-inch cubes.
4. Heat oil and butter in a skillet and add garlic. When garlic is cooked, but not brown, add tomatoes, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add beans, stir to blend well and cook about 1 minute, until hot. Remove bay leaf and serve.
