Hmmm....I really do not mind this vegetarian dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Another recipe that I've picked up from A's mom - we (me and YJ) call it by the name, Indian Green Beans. Hahahaha....that's another dish without a formal name. And the ingredients are almost similar to Indian Spicy Chickpeas.
Indian Green Beans
Ingredients: green bean sliced, 4-5 shallots sliced, 2-3 garlic minced, 1-2tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp turmeric, butter, salt, 1tbsp oil, freshly ground black pepper, sprinkle of red chili pepper flakes
Directions: Add butter and 1tbsp oil to a frying pan, add in minced garlic, shallots saute till fragrant. Add in green beans and saute till green beans and onions are slightly tender/onions caramelized. Add the spices. Salt to taste. Cook for about 10 mins in low-heat pan (note: if too dry, add some water). Add in some freshly ground black pepper and red chili pepper flakes, mix well.
Makes a really different dish as Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes. Imagine having traditional turkeys with these. Does it not bring a new revived flavor to year-end traditional holiday feasting ?

No I want many bites of that!
Nice way to enjoy some beans. I am always looking for tasty new side dishes.
ReplyDeleteLooks quite like the dish in Indian shops of KL, although we never think Indian veges are good at all !
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Better than the canned green beans with Campbell cream of mushroom soup and French's fried onions. :-)
ReplyDeleteMmmm hmmm... A delicious sidedish!
ReplyDeleteyet another delicious with simplicity dish of yours as always! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! I have some green beans so I might have to make it!!
ReplyDeleteThere's something so compelling about the green beans when they're cut up like this. I find them quite beautiful and enticing.
