We decided to actively look for vegetable dishes that our Cuban resident's would eat - they seem to hate them without even trying them. This seemed like an interesting take on green beans - have changed & added a few things - found in EatingWell, July 8th Newslatter. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste) |
1/2 cup water |
1 1/2 cups frozen stir fry vegetables, with pea-pods thawed |
1 tablespoon black bean sauce (with garlic) |
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms |
chopped cashew nuts (toasted) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add green beans and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring often, until seared in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add water, cover, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes for tender-crisp or 6 minutes for tender.
4. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, add stir-fry vegetables, mushrooms and black bean-garlic sauce; cook, stirring often, until heated through and most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Enjoy!
