Lemon Garlic Green Beans

Ollin Farms has been supplying me with really good green beans.

This short recipe turned out well.
Ingredients:
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 TB olive oil
  • 1/4 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 3 tsp OJ
Sauté the garlic in olive oil until fragrant and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.
Bring water to a boil, add beans (I had 1 pound) and boil for 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain again.
In a measuring cup or bowl, whisk the garlic, oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, and OJ. Coat the beans and enjoy.

Great Garlic Green Beans

Fresh, local, organic green beans are great in the summer. I have been buying the BEST beans from Ollin Farms. I started with one pound, broke off the tips, and then snapped each bean in half. Boiled them for 2 minutes, then drained and rinsed under cold water to stop them from cooking.

Whisk together the following dressing:

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 TB walnut oil
  • 1/4 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 TB soy sauce
  • 1/2 TB honey mustard
  • 1/2 TB maple syrup
  • Aleppo pepper (from Savory Spice Shop), or crushed red pepper flakes.
Toss the beans in the dressing and enjoy.
