French Green Beans with Red Pepper and Onions

Written By: Chris - Feb• 15•14

We love French Green Beans.  Also called string beans, green beans are made up of small seeds encased in long pods.  Because they are harvested while still young, the green pods are tender and edible ebooks romans gratisen.  Green beans are available year-round with a peak season of May to October, but I love when I can find them at Costco!  They should be crisp and bright green, without blemishes or signs of wilting herunterladen.  If you’re buying them without a package, try to choose beans that are of similar size for even cooking.  I was looking for some way to change things up and this side dish worked well with items that I hand on hand in the fridge smule aufnahme herunterladen!  Easy and tasty!

Cook, tossing occasionally for 20 to 30 minutes or until liquid evaporates and beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp mods minecraft kostenlos downloaden.  I taste and wait until the “squeak” is gone.  If necessary, you can add more stock during the cooking process, but allow the liquid to cook away so the onions and peppers have a chance caramelize karaoke downloaden gratis.
