DRAMATICALLY SEARED GREEN BEANS WITH GARLIC AND CHILE

DRAMATICALLY SEARED GREEN BEANS WITH GARLIC AND CHILE image

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil or peanut oil
1 pound whole green beans, trimmed
Salt
1 tablespoon minced or crushed garlic
Red pepper flakes

Steps:

Place a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat. After about two minutes, add the oil, and swirl to coat the pan. Turn the heat to high, and wait another 30 seconds or so, then add the green beans and a big pinch of salt. Cook over high heat, shaking the pan and/or using tongs to turn and move the beans so they cook quickly and evenly. After about 3 minutes, take a taste test and see if the beans are done to your liking. They should be relatively crunchy, but you get to decide. If you like them cooked a little more, keep going until they're your kind of tender. Sprinkle in the garlic and some red pepper flakes, and cook for just a minute longer. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
