Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ pound fresh French green beans, trimmed
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • ⅓ cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to high heat (400° to 450°). Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on grill to heat for 15 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, toss together green beans, tomatoes, olive oil, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add mixture to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to blister, about 4 minutes. Remove from skillet.
