ROASTED GARLIC GREEN BEANS WITH CASHEWS



Roasted Garlic Green Beans with Cashews image

My mom got a garlic roaster and soon my kitchen was overflowing with heads of sweet, gooey, roasted garlic. This recipe, one of my many experiments, was a favorite of my family. The roasted garlic is mild and adds a rich, buttery taste to the beans. -Virginia Sturm, San Francisco, California

GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD SEEDS, CASHEWS AND COCONUT



Green Beans With Mustard Seeds, Cashews and Coconut image

This fragrant, deeply flavored green bean dish works as an intense side dish for a simple meal or as a meatless main course in its own right. Take care when adding the mustard seeds to the skillet - they can pop and jump out of the pan as they heat, so stand back. If you can't find large flakes of dried coconut (also sometimes called chips), you can substitute shredded coconut, as long as it's unsweetened. But ground coconut will be too fine to add the necessary texture.
