Gourmet Green Bean Dish

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 leeks, white and 1inch green, thinly sliced (I have never added the leeks)
1 1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
1/2 C dry white wine
2 T sun-dried tomaties in oil, drained and coarsely chipped
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
4 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled
Cook green beans in a large pot of salted booiling water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and cool.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and cook 5 minutes, until softened; add garlic and cook 1 minute more.  Add wine, tomatoes and thyme.  Increase heat to high and bring to a boil for 2 minutes until most of the wine evaporates.  Mix in green beans.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Transfer to a bowl; gently stir in goat cheese.  Serve immediately.
One of the only ways my husband will eat vegetables!  This is really great and I got it from Atkins.
