With so many fresh green bean ideas it is hard to decide which to serve tonight with dinner. I have been on a Dijon mustard kick lately so why not add it to green beans. These came out so tasty I called them The Tastiest Green Beans! I used to boil my green beans until tender but now sautéing and roasting are my favorite ways to prepare them. This recipe is slightly sweet and mildly spicy. It is the perfect side dish to any meal. It also travels well and makes a great picnic food!
Ingredients
1 pound fresh green beans (about 3 cups trimmed)
1 teaspoon olive oil for sauce
1/2 tablespoon of olive oil for pan
1/2 tablespoon chili paste
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
2 scallions thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
dash salt
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Clean and trim the ends off your green beans and set aside.
In a bowl whisk together the oil, chili paste, mustard, vinegar, scallions, salt and pepper.
Put 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet, heat to medium high. Add the beans to the pan and toss around for about 5 minutes. Then add 3 tablespoons of water to the pan, cover it, turn the heat to medium and let it simmer 5 minutes. Remove the cover, turn the heat back up and stir in the whisked ingredients. Toss beans until fully coated and let heat for another 2 minutes.
Place beans on serving plate and squeeze with fresh lemon juice, about 1 teaspoon.
