Spicy Asparagus And Green Bean Stew Recipes

SPICY ASPARAGUS OR GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Cut up veggies (asparagus: cut off bottom and cut each "tree" into about three pieces. green beans: cut off both ends and slice into one or two pieces each.).
• Melt butter or margarine in frying pan over medium heat.
• Add cut up veggies and all seasonings.
• Toss to coat.
• Cover pan and fry for about 8 minutes for asparagus and 10-15 minutes for green beans.
• Stir once or twice (if at all) until cooked the way you like them (we like our veggies soft -- you might like them crunchy).

ROASTED GREEN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Quarter the zucchini lengthwise and then cut in half. Place in a gallon resealable plastic bag along with the trimmed asparagus and green beans.
• Add in the olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Seal and toss to completely coat the vegetables. Release any extra air from the bag and store in the refrigerator, along with the Parmesan, until ready to roast.
• When ready to roast, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the vegetable mix from the bag and spread it onto a sheet pan. Roast until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 18 to 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. Remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.

SEASONED GREEN BEANS AND ASPARAGUS

• 1. In a big frying pan heat olive oil, add your asparagus and beans, season well with salt and pepper, saute for about 3 min stirring often, add basil and lemon juice stir well to coat and saute for another 3 min. They should be hot but still crispy. Enjoy

GARLIC ASPARAGUS AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat a heavy bottom saute` pan to medium high. Add olive oil and swirl to coat pan. Add asparagus, green beans (and carrots if using) and stir well to coat vegetables with oil.

Can be served hot, room temp or cold.

BEANS AND GREENS STEW WITH DOENJANG

Steps:

• Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium and add 2 tablespoons oil, the onion and scallions. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the remaining tablespoon oil and the doenjang, and stir until heated through and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Move the onion mixture to one side of the pot, add the honey and red-pepper flakes to the empty side, and let the honey bubble and caramelize, about 1 minute.
• Add the beans and stir to coat. Add the soy sauce and 2 cups water, raise the heat to high, and bring to a gentle boil, using the wooden spoon to crush some of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the broth.
• Stir in the chard, cover the pot and reduce heat to medium-low, simmering until the greens have cooked down and darkened in color, about 10 minutes.
• Off the heat, stir in the grated garlic. Taste and add more salt, pepper and doenjang as desired. Serve in large bowls over or alongside rice.
