green bean recipes

[lisadallasr]

hi everyone, ok i bought a bag of fresh green beans, never have cooked them this way, i love roasted green beans but i have always made them from frozen just curious if any of you have a great recipe using fresh green beans, and can i roast them like i do frozen, im not big on steamed veggies so any other kind of recipes would be great.

try this

just take the green beans and saute them in a plain oil like canola with smashed garlic, fresh grated ginger and chopped up green onions then before serving give them a shot of toasted sesame oil and soy sauce...

now if you want something more simple ...just saute them in butter or olive oil with fresh cracked pepper and kosher salt ...

I have had them served with scrambled eggs and they are quite good like that as well with some garlic and green onion ..add a shot of soy sauce ..

I do them basically the same way as Heidi.

Sometimes I 'smother' them too (but only in the summer). You need one small tomato or half a medium tomato, chop it. Then heat up your pan, add oil and chopped garlic. Then add the tomato and let it cook until it's broken down. Then add the green beans, cover and let them steam until cooked. This dish tastes good hot, but it's also good room temperature or cool (with a squirt of lemon before serving).

cook bacon until crisp, then crumble and return to oil with water (make sure the oil is cool or it will splatter) cook until done. MMMMMMMMM

deep fry them as you would french fries. Yum! Yum! Yum! My family begs me to make these.

Seriously? Deep fried? Ok....I just may have to try that!

We usually have our green beans with bacon or with soy sauce, as has been already described here!

[ValidRouge]

Yep, try them!!! They are EXCELLENT. Cook them until they start to turn a very light brown on the outside. Ohhh they are so good.

Awesome. Very excited to try this! I'll let you know what everyone thinks!
