Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 600 g green beans (preferably fresh)
- 400 g chicken wings (preferably fresh, but frozen works too)
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 1 large onion or 2 small ones
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon (about 80 g) tomato paste
- 100 ml oil (sunflower or olive, as preferred)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh dill, to add a touch of freshness

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by chopping the onion and garlic. I prefer to chop them very finely to incorporate them better into the dish. Cut the bell peppers into thin strips, and you can leave the green beans whole or cut them into smaller pieces, depending on your preference.

2. Sautéing the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and let them sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. This step is essential to develop the flavors.

3. Adding the peppers and tomato paste: Once the onion is sautéed, add the bell peppers and tomato paste. Stir and let the mixture sauté for another 3-4 minutes. The taste of the tomato paste will add a note of acidity and color to the dish.

4. Cooking the green beans: Now it's time to add the green beans. To help them cook and absorb the flavors, add a cup of water in which you have dissolved 2 teaspoons of vegetable concentrate (or use vegetable broth if you have it). Cover the skillet with a lid and let the green beans simmer over medium to low heat for about 30 minutes, until they become tender.

5. Preparing the chicken wings: In another skillet, heat a little oil and add the chicken wings. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Browning the wings will add a crispy texture and delicious flavor to the dish. If you have frozen wings, make sure to thaw them well before cooking. Let them brown over medium heat until golden, then remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

6. Finishing the dish: When the green beans are ready, add the chicken wings to the skillet and adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Let everything simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and become more concentrated.

7. Serving: Once everything is well combined, add the chopped fresh dill and mix. The dish is now ready to be served! It pairs wonderfully with warm polenta and a garlic sauce. This combination will turn the meal into a true celebration of flavors!

Helpful tips:
- If you want to enhance the flavor of the dish, add a cube of butter (50-60 g) while sautéing the vegetables. This will enrich the taste of the meal.
- A glass of wine added along with the wings will transform this dish into an unforgettable culinary experience.
- Experiment with various spices, such as sweet paprika or herbs, to customize the recipe to your taste.

Nutritional benefits:
This recipe is rich in protein due to the chicken wings and packed with vitamins and minerals from the green beans and vegetables. The green beans are an excellent source of fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of meat instead of chicken wings?
Sure! This recipe can easily be adapted with beef, pork, or even a mix of vegetables for a vegetarian version.

- How can I store leftovers?
You can keep the dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat it gently in the microwave or in a skillet before serving.

- What drinks pair well with this dish?
A dry white wine or fresh lemonade are excellent choices to accompany the meal. Also, a light beer will complement the flavors well.
