Yummy Green Beans

This is one of those non-art random posts I warned you about in Blogs, Business, Books & Beaches. I bought some Texas green beans from Sprouts yesterday and made up this recipe as I cooked them. It turned out great!

Ingredients:

Green beans
2 Tbl butter (or olive oil would work)
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 Tbl Red wine vinegar
2 Tbl brown sugar
1/4 cup pecans, broken up and lightly toasted. (or skip the toasting and toss them in anyway)

Clean, trim, & break green beans into 2" pieces. I'm not sure how much I used but it filled a 9" saute pan. Probably a bag of frozen would work just as well. Don't used canned green beans...canned green beans are very gross!

Bring 1/2 cup water to a boil, add beans, put on lid, turn down heat and simmer for 10 minutes (watch the water to make sure it doesn't boil away)

Remove lid, add butter & olive oil. Cook for 2 minutes, add remaining ingredients and cook for another 2 minutes.

Yummy!

I don't have a painting of green beans but I did a quick search on Etsy and found these adorable earrings from a French artist. Glutamate's shop carries these earrings and other quirky designs.
