These are not your typical open-a-can-and-heat-them-up green beans. To be honest, I haven’t really eaten very many green beans that didn’t come out of a can or jar. I helped my mom bottle probably a thousand quarts in my lifetime, but we never ate them fresh. After making these today, I am now a fresh green bean convert. Delicious!
This recipe is adapted from allrecipes.com.
1 pound fresh green beans
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic (I always buy the jar of the already minced stuff in the produce section)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic (I always buy the jar of the already minced stuff in the produce section)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Prepare the beans by snapping off the ends and then snapping them into whatever size pieces you want. I snapped them in half. Using a steamer basket or insert, steam them until they are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
Toss them in a bowl with the other ingredients. Let them marinate for a while. Serve at room temperature.
