Green beans / haricots verts — share your favorite dishes!

One of my favorite ways for them is to lightly steam, then sauté in a little coconut oil, until tender, adding a couple of spoonfuls of cilantro and peanut chutney. The flavors really play off each other nicely. We do them Greek style as well with tomato, which is H’s favorite. I have a southern prep I like that has tomatoes, brown sugar and bacon, but H thinks it’s too sweet.

This is very good! I made it as part of our New Year’s Eve spread (also pictured is an achari spiced pimiento cheese and some naan).

Latest version of fasolakia lathera, this time including some Roma style beans and the last of the yellow ones from the garden. I didn’t get nearly enough of the Roma style which I love, but there should be more on the way.

I love that we continue to enjoy it, room temp or hot, for many days.
