Sesame Green Beans!

Haricot verts. What?

Is she talking about the long, skinny green beans?

Why yes, yes I am.

Haricot verts (hairy-co-vares) is the French phrase for green beans and refers to the ones shaped like the the picture below.

If you're from the south you're probably used to green beans cooked with ham or bacon, or perhaps served in a green bean casserole.

But today we're veering off the straight and narrow path of southern staples and I think you're gonna like it....

What You'll Need:

1 Package of Hericot Verts
2 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce or Teriyaki Sauce
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste


Directions:


Start by rinsing your Hericot Verts thoroughly in a collander.


Now add your rinsed Hericot Verts and olive oil in a large skillet and turn the heat on high.


Let the beans cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until they start to become tender.
*Tip: If you're using frozen beans, cover them during this step. It will help them heat through quicker.


Now add your sesame oil and soy sauce/teriyaki sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are cooked to your desired tenderness.

Now sprinkle with sesame seeds, serve and enjoy!
