Green Bean Recipe!!
We are Soooo ready for the spring veggies! And we have an awesome recipe for your green beans! Coconut Curry Green Beans!! These green beans are lightly sauced in a flavorful oil you make yourself. You do need one specialized piece of equipment - the splatter guard. A splatter guard keeps all those popping seeds in the pan!
Heat 2 T of EVOO, add 1/2 t of whole cumin seeds and 1/2 t of mustard seeds (traditionally, black mustard seeds are used, but you can use those yellow ones you have left over from pickle making) and toast them in the oil until they are popping and fragrant. That splatter guard will come in really handy!! Toss in your 1lb of green beans - you can use whole or cut. You can put them in raw, boiled, steamed, or grilled - we toasted ours on the grill for another layer of flavor. Swirl it about in the pan and coat with the seasoned oil. Add 1/4 t of ground coriander, 1/4t of ground turmeric, and optionally add a tiny bit of crushed red or cayenne or other hot pepper. Cover and cook until the desired tenderness. Sprinkle with Unsweetened Coconut flakes and eat! So yummy!!
