Gingered Green Beans
This came from the Capay Farms newsletter — we had them and loved them at Thanksgiving!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb Whole green beans Remove the stems
- 3 tbsp olive oil

- ½ tsp crushed red pepper Add to taste
- Kosher salt Add to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with ice water
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook beans until crisp-tender (about 4 minutes)
- Drain the beans and transfer them into the ice water (to stop them cooking)
- Drain and pat dry
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil
- Add garlic and cook over moderately high heat until fragrant (about 30 sec.)
- Stir in ginger and pepper, then add beans
- Season with salt
- Stir-fry until garlic is lightly browned and beans are tender (about 2-3 min)
- Transfer beans to platter and serve
