Ingredients
- 1 cup halved green beans

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook olives, capers, garlic, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes or until garlic begins to turn golden.
Add tomatoes; cook, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until beginning to soften. Stir in green beans; cook for 1 minute. Stir in endive and parsley; cook for 1 minute.
