Fennel Green Beans



3 cups thin green beans, ends removed and cut into 1-2 inch lengths
½ cup sliced fennel bulb
½ medium onion sliced
1 fresh tomato, seeds and excess pulp removed and chopped
2 TBS fresh lemon juice
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
salt and cracked black pepper to taste

1. Bring water to a boil in a steamer with a tight fitting lid. Cut ends off beans and slice fennel and onion. Steam beans and onion together for about 5 minutes, and add fennel. Steam for another 2 minutes. Drain well and pat with paper towel so any excess water does not dilute taste.
2. Toss with rest of ingredients.
