Fine Green Beans - Easy Recipe

You will need:

• 400g extra fine green beans

• 2 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped

• 1 medium red onion, diced

• 25g butter

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp gochugaru/chilli flakes

• 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper (black or rainbow pepper)

How to:

1. Melt the butter in a cast iron/nonstick pan

2. Add the onions and leave them to soften

3. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes

4. Add the fine green beans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally

5. Add 100-150 ml water * and cook for another 7-10 minutes, until the water has evaporated.

6. *If you like your green beans to be super crunchy, only add 100ml water and remove the pan from the stove after 7 minutes

7. *If you prefer the beans to be a bit more cooked through, add 150 ml water and cook them until all the water has fully evaporated from the pan
   

• A good source of fibre and vitamins, and a highly delicious addition to any lunch or dinner.

• Any leftovers last in the fridge for 1-2 days and can be reheated either in a pan or microwave.

• Feel free to use olive oil instead of butter ( I prefer the buttery taste for this particular recipe)

• You can blanche the green beans (or even boil them for 3-4 minutes) before you toss them in the pan with the onion, garlic, butter and spices but I prefer adding the water to the pan as it coats the beans better

• You can keep the beans whole or chop them into bite-size pieces

• The beans I usually find at my local shop have the ends already trimmed, if that's not the case for you, please make sure to trim them
