SAUTEED BEANS AND PEARL ONIONS
This is a fantastic veggie side dish.... wonderfu along a turkey, ham or roast. I always make this when I have a dinner party, it looks so impressive... Make sure that you don't over blanch the beans, as they will become soft when frying. Also, to save time, the beans can be prepared a day ahead, just wrap in a towel, enclose in plastic bag, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender beans and pearl onions. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Pearl onions should be small and firm, with no signs of sprouting or bruising.
- Trim the beans and pearl onions before cooking. For beans, remove the stem ends and any tough strings from the sides. For pearl onions, trim the root end and remove any loose outer layers.
- Blanch the beans before stir-frying. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp-tender texture. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a hot wok or skillet for stir-frying. This will help the beans and pearl onions cook quickly and evenly. If your wok or skillet is not hot enough, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry and will become mushy.
- Stir-fry the beans and pearl onions in a little bit of oil. You don't need a lot of oil, just enough to coat the vegetables. This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Season the beans and pearl onions with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, ginger, or chili peppers, to taste.
- Serve the beans and pearl onions immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Sautéed beans and pearl onions are a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are healthy, flavorful, and colorful, and they can be served with a variety of main courses.
