Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely minced or grated (from peeled ginger root, about 1-1/2 inch knob of ginger root)
- 6 garlic cloves sliced vertically in half
- 1/2 cup onions diced or sliced into short strips
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and blanch for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing to boil until bright green and tender-crisp. How to test: Bean should snap easily in half, but be tender to eat. Drain the green beans.
- Meanwhile, add oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until onions have softened and are a bit translucent. Add turmeric and two tablespoons of water and stir together to form a paste. Add green beans and toss. Add an additional tablespoon or two of water and cook, tossing constantly until all ingredients are coated.
- Enjoy!
