Long Beans with Toasted Walnuts, Cumin, and Fennel Seed image

Long beans are one and a half to three feet long and have a somewhat drier texture than string beans. Look for them in Asian produce markets, or try this dish with any fresh string or wax bean.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Salt
1 1/2 pounds long beans, stem ends trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts on a baking pan. Toast until fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate to cool.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the long beans, and cook until they are just tender and bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the beans in a colander, and pat them dry with a clean towel. Transfer to a large bowl, and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the walnuts, fennel seeds, and cumin seeds, and cook, stirring continuously, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, pour mixture over the reserved beans, and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

I thought the recipe was a bit confusing. I had to read it over a few times before I understood what I was supposed to do.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me. I think I would have preferred it with less chili peppers.

I'm not a big fan of cumin, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cumin flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover long beans. I always have a few extra in the fridge and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.
