Ingredients:

Serving

4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1/2 cup onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 tsp fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut crosswise into small pieces
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

In a 10-inch heavy skillet or 12-inch wok, heat the butter over moderate heat until a drop of cold water dropped into it splutters instantly. Add the mustard seeds and fry for 30 seconds.
Thoroughly stir in the onion, ginger, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Add the green bean pieces. Stirring constantly, add the cayenne and fry for 5 minutes longer.
Add the coconut and cilantro, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan. Stirring occasionally, cook for 5-8 minutes more, or until the beans are crisp-tender.
Sprinkle with lemon juice, taste for seasoning, and serve at once.
