I'm always looking for another way to prepare green beans! This has a hint of asian flavor because of the peanut butter and sesame oil. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans |
1/2 cup water |
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter |
1 tablespoon gingerroot, peeled and grated (may substitute 1 tsp ground ginger) |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1 large garlic clove, minced (make sure it's large, or substitute 2 small) |
1 teaspoon peanut oil or 1 teaspoon sesame oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Wash the beans and remove the strings. Cook in a small amount of boiling water 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Combine 1/2 cup water, creamy peanut butter, ginger, and ground red pepper. Set aside.
3. Saute garlic in oil in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Add reserved peanut butter mixture and salt; stir well. Add the reserved beans; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 4 minutes or until the beans are tender and the mixture is thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.
