Indian Spiced Green Beans

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of green beans, ends removed
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 Tbsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot over high heat, boil the green beans in water until crisp tender, about 5 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat and drain off the water. Set pot aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and onion until onions are tender - about 3 - 4 minutes.

Add beans and continue to cook and stir until beans reach your desired level of done-ness, anywhere from 3 - 8 minutes. Keep checking them until you are happy with them.

Remove from heat and sprinkle with the chopped, fresh basil.

Serve hot.
