- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove crushed

- 1 pound green beans trimmed

- Add green beans to steamer basket and sprinkle with salt. Add trivet to cooker and lower basket into cooker.
- Close and lock the pressure cooker. When the cooker reaches pressure, cook 5-7 minutes at High pressure (or 9-11 minutes at Low pressure). When cooking time is up, release pressure.
- Pull out the steamer basket and trivet. Pour the green beans into the tomato sauce. If the green beans need to cook a little more, cook them together with the sauce on low flame in the pressure cooker without the lid.
