Black Sesame Sauteed Green Beans

BLACK SESAME SAUTEED GREEN BEANS

PRINTER HAPPY VERSION > > > > > > > > >

Is there anything better than fresh produce in the summer? Confession... when its over 100 degrees outside I get a little overwhelmed around dinner time, but I can ALWAYS talk myself into firing up the stove for a bit of fresh produce. Today I got a great deal on some freshly picked green beans, and couldn't wait to cook them up. This recipe is fast, simple and adds tons of flavor without overwhelming the crispy earthy goodness of the green beans.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb. fresh green beans, washed, stem-ends removed
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
drizzle of dark sesame oil
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 Tablespoons toasted black or white sesame seeds
HIMALAYAN Pink SEA SALT and fresh ground pepper to taste
pinch of cayenne (optional)


INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cook the prepared green beans in a pot of boiling water for two minutes. 
Immediately remove from water and plunge into a big bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain. Blot dry.
2. In a saute' pan heat oil over medium heat and then add Green Beans, HS Veggie Rub and garlic powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bean begin to brown a little. Remove pan from heat, add the remaining ingredients- tossing gently to coat. Serve immediately.

 FAST, delicious and healthy .... three of my favorite things in the kitchen! Enjoy~
