mmm...GREEN BEANSI love green... most anything that grows in the ground... that said, when it comes to bringing side dishes, I have felt that maybe I ought not bring a dish of naked steamed broccoli or green beans to share... SO, Susan (sister of my sister-in-law) made these delicious garlic green beans when I was visiting last month... Did I mention...I LOVE them!? Why? They have been enjoyed by others who are less apt to dive into a plate of fresh green beans! PLUS, they are SO quick to make and they are DELICIOUSLY (NUTRITIOUS)!
It takes about 10 minutes... Ingredients: about 1 lb. fresh (or frozen) green beans, 3 gloves minced garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, pepper (white is best, but black is a fine substitute)Directions:
- Steam green beans until glowing bright green (avoid over steaming) 3 +/- min
- Drain and place in a glass bowl
- Toss minced garlic + 1-2 TBS (not a lot is needed) olive oil in the pot to heat (releases the flavor of the garlic nicely)... I like doing this part but it's not essential- you can just toss it straight into the green beans without heating
- Sprinkle on the salt and pepper to taste
- Stir and ENJOY warm!
I've been making those green beans every week since you brought them to our Easter dinner. I'd never had them like that, and I LOVE them! They are sooo good!
ReplyDeleteI have been making them all the time since you made them for me when I came out. Plus, I went to Costco and got the HUGE bag of green beans. They are SOOO good. Love the picture of you modeling your green beans:)
ReplyDeleteHey, good luck in the Ragnar DC coming up. The Wasatch Back is in about 5 weeks and I am excited to get the feedback of how your Ragnar goes.
I am going to try them. They look yummy.
