GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC



Green Beans With Ginger and Garlic image

Here is a recipe for fresh green beans, boiled just until barely tender and bright green, then tossed in a pan with minced garlic and ginger. The beans can be cooked a day ahead, leaving nothing more to do before the meal than to assemble everything over high heat.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Salt
2 1/2 pounds green beans (French-style slim haricots verts work especially well), trimmed
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger (about 6 inches ginger root, peeled)
4 medium-size garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
  • When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.

GREEN BEANS AND BEEF



Green Beans and Beef image

My mother came up with this savory dish in the early 1950s when the budget was tight, but there were a lot of green beans in the garden. When times were really tough, she increased the beans and decreased the beef. Since then, the whole family looks forward to green bean season, because this is just plain old good food. Serve with garlic bread or homemade biscuits.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs lean beef, cut in 1-inch cubes (recommend top round or sirloin)

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
2 lbs fresh green beans, snapped into 1-inch pieces
1 bouquet garni (fresh sprigs of savory and basil, tied in a bunch with string ) (optional)
salt (unless using salt-free broth, I don't add any)

Steps:

BEEF WITH GREEN BEANS



Beef With Green Beans image

We really enjoyed this super easy dinner which was printed in the newspaper (originally from Easy Chinese Stir-fries). Although I think you can cut the oil in half this isn't bad calorie wise using the amount listed. Also this seems like a lot of pepper but this really isn't a spicy dish -- I think the pepper tenderizes the meat some how.
