Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the beans: Cut off the ends of the beans, then use a sharp knife to remove any strings from the sides.
  • Blanch the beans: This helps to preserve their color and crunch. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the lemon juice, cardamom, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly.
  • Toss the beans with the glaze: In a large bowl, combine the blanched beans and the glaze. Toss to coat the beans evenly.
  • Serve the beans: Serve the beans immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Green beans with lemon cardamom glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
