TIPS
The papery skins on garlic can be easily removed using a chef s knife. Lay the Hat edge of the blade on top of the garlic clove and press down firmly with the palm of your hand. You should hear a slight cracking sound as the skin breaks. Then it can be easily peeled from the clove.
My mother likes green beans with tarragon. When adding tarragon to this recipe, do not add tamari or sesame seeds.
