Flat Beans to be exact, this was a result of another experiment when we were really hungry and I had to come up with a meal quick. I always try to add a side of greens to our meals (and if not a quick green smoothie it is). If you ever come across these flat beans in your local market then I hope you try this recipe of mine and like it too. Oh and don’t remove the beans from the inside!
Ingredients
- 2 cups sliced flat beans
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 teaspoon dry basil
- couple dashes black pepper
- 2 teaspoon melted butter
Recipe
Heat a skillet to medium heat and add butter, onion and garlic. Stir fry until onion is wilted and garlic is aromatic. About 3 minutes. Add the beans and salt. mix well and cover to cook, about 5 mins. Add basil and black pepper. Cook for about 2 more mins. Taste for salt and tenderness. Try not to over cook and keep a bit crunchy. Enjoy!
PS- sorry I don’t have more pics of this. Will add again later 🙂
