GREEN BEANS LIGHT AND FLAVORFUL



Green Beans Light and Flavorful image

Even though these are canned green beans, they don't taste like it. No one ever suspects these are canned. I always get rave reviews. If you like crispier green beans, you could use fresh or frozen and adjust the cooking time. I hope you like them.

2 can(s) italian style green beans
2 tsp dry minced onions

  • Tuna Green Bean Casserole. By adding tuna to the traditional green bean casserole, you can turn the classic side dish into something entirely new. It has enough protein to make a main dish, but also works as a potluck contribution or hearty side.
  • Green Bean and Potato Salad. For a different twist on your classic potato salad, try this version that uses green beans to mix things up a bit. Fresh dill, lemon juice, chopped onion and celery, a little dill pickle relish, mayonnaise, and either red or new potatoes go perfectly with fresh or frozen green beans for a picnic or barbecue salad that everyone will enjoy.
  • Skillet Green Beans and Bacon. When you want to improve upon a dish, just add bacon! Tossing green beans in a skillet with bacon adds umami, smoky quality that will convince even the pickiest eaters to finish their vegetables.
  • Green Bean Casserole Without Canned Soup. If you're a purist, you might enjoy this spin on traditional green bean casserole because it's made without canned soup or canned fried onions.
  • Vegan Green Bean Casserole. Many people wouldn't consider holiday dinners complete without green bean casserole. This recipe turns the creamy, bubbly, French fried-onion topped staple into a dish that even those who avoid animal products can enjoy.
  • Marinated Green Beans. A zesty, shallot-laden vinaigrette marinates these green beans for a fresh and bright presentation. They work great as a side dish with a hearty steak, atop a salad, or even as a garnish for a burger or sandwich.
  • Chinese Green Beans. Toss your green beans in a smoking hot wok instead of boiling them and you end up with crispy, slightly browned beans with a tender center.
  • Vegan Asian Green Beans. For a unique vegan side dish, try tossing fresh green beans with sherry or rice wine, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sugar. Steaming them and then sauteeing them in a wok with the sauce ensures each bean gets perfectly coated, and a little crispy too.
  • Green Beans With Za'atar Breadcrumbs. Green beans topped with breadcrumbs and za'atar seasoning gives them a spiced element and a nice crunch that switches things up from the usual plain, steamed veggies.
  • Green Bean Amandine. This classic green bean recipe combines crisp-tender green beans, slivered or blanched almonds, a hit of lemon juice, and a hint of garlic for a side dish that brings the crunch.

  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once it’s completely melted, add the almonds. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, until the butter has browned and the almonds are beginning to brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. (Your patience will pay off, I promise!)
  • Add the shallot and cook, while stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water. While stirring, cook until the liquid thickens enough that your spatula leaves an open trail on the pan behind it, about 1 more minute.
  • Use your spatula to scoop all the mixture into a bowl, and set it aside for now. Return the empty skillet to the stovetop, and add the green beans, ½ cup water and ½ teaspoon salt. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are nearly tender, about 9 to 10 minutes.

SRI LANKAN GREEN BEAN STIR FRY - THE FLAVOR BENDER
2020-10-05 For this recipe I use fresh green beans. Using fresh green beans allows me to either cook the beans a little less and keep them crunchy, or char them a little and soften them. But you can use frozen beans too for convenience. The result will be softer beans, because it’ll be harder to char them or to keep them crispy. But it’ll still taste just as flavorful…
