I have tried this pan fried beans when I had been to finland. There I have often packed this for lunch. Since the ingredients like garlic powder and onion powder were easily available over there, this recipe could be made in minutes. I havent tried this recipe in India and I dont know how it would taste without these powders. This pan fried beans is more like a salad but quite filling.
Ingredients:
French green beans - 250 grams
garlic powder - 1 tbsp
Onion powder - 1 tbsp
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste
Method:
- Clean the beans. Trim the ends and cut then into 2-3 inch long pieces.
- In a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the beans begin to sweat. Remove lid and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
- When the beans and spices have begun to 'burn' on the bottom of the pan, which will lend a grilled flavor, stir in the olive oil and turn off heat. Cover, and let stand a few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the 'burnt' spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel color, but not black.
