Garlicky Green Beans with Soy Sauce

This week's recipe is fairly short and easy to make.  It made a great side dish.  The main part of the meal I have shown above was a chicken and vegetable stir-fry and brown rice.

I used the German Red garlic from Hope Valley Farm again this week.  As I mentioned in the Stuffed Portabella Mushroom post, here is another picture of my dog, Rugby, with the garlic!

Ingredients for this recipe:

• Green Beans
• Green Onions
• 2-3 Cloves Garlic (German Red)
• Crushed Red Pepper
• Black Pepper
• Mushroom Soy Sauce

First, bring some water to boiling.  While waiting for the water to boil, take the stems off of the green beans.  Mice the garlic, and slice the green onions.  For this I used about three cloves of garlic, and three green onions.

Parboil the beans by putting them in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then remove.

Next, heat up a skillet with olive oil.  Once heated, add the garlic, and then the green beans. 

Once the green beans start to brown, add crushed red pepper and black pepper to the mix, then enough soy sauce to coat the green beans.  Finally, stir in the green onions, turn off the heat, and it is ready to serve!
