Found this recipe on the web recently. Love the combination of flavors. Use the best quality green beans available. Canned beans won't work in this recipe. UPDATE: I've eliminated the step for submerging the beans in ice cold water per suggestion of a reviewer. Always room for improvement! Ingredients:
1 lb fresh green beans |
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or 2 tablespoons peanut oil |
1 garlic clove, finely minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 tablespoon slivered almonds |
Directions:
1. Clean and trim green beans. Blanch the green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 1 minute or until bright green.
2. Drain the green beans, rinse to stop the cooking process and set aside.
3. Heat up the oil in a sautè pan. Place remaining ingredients in the saucepan over medium heat and cook for two minutes; stirring constantly.
4. Pour the spice mixture over the green beans and toss gently until beans are thoroughly coated.
5. Serve warm.
