My Fav Fried Green Beans

This has been posted before as my hot green beans, and
you will notice the similarities. They are a great side dish
and with a few changes can be made to compliment any meal.

First prepare some green beans. OK, OK...I get frozen
whole beans and thaw them; they are available all year round
like that, and don't take nearly the time to prepare. However,
fresh beans are to die for, and if you are impressing the honey,
go for it!

Then slice a red pepper into strips approximately the same thickness
of the beans. Crush some garlic. Heat a large fry pan(non-stick is
best)very hot. Add you olive oil to the hot pan and dump in the beans,
peppers and garlic.

Now be quick, this is where you want to add your flavorings...
Sesame seeds and a drissle of sesame oil; or hot pepper flakes
and soy sauce; or balsamic vinegar and honey; or basil and cherry
tomatoes then sprinkle with parm; or lemon zest if serving with fish;
or rosemary....or....you get my drift. Anything that will carry
over your meal. Saute only till blistered, still crispy and packed
with vitamins.

Very scrumptious and very healthy!!
Eat up and enjoy experimenting.
