One of the farmers at the market had some yellow wax beans, so I had to buy them. I ate the first serving of this recipe warm as a side dish with a piece of grilled chicken. The next day, I ate it as a cold salad for lunch. It was tasty both ways.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb yellow wax beans (approx. 3 cups)
• 1 medium leek (approx. 1 cup)
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 medium tomato (approx. 1 cup)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup vegetable stock

Directions

1. Add minced garlic and oil to a frying pan.
2. Heat pan until garlic releases scent.
3. Add leeks and cook until wilted.
4. Add beans and vegetable stock. Cook until beans are crisp tender.
5. Add tomatoes and cook until just soft.
6. Add balsamic vinegar and mix well.
7. Serve (this is good hot or as a cold salad).
