Besides having the traditional Green Bean Casserole at Thanksgiving, I used to overlook green beans when thinking about making a side dish to accompany my main course. Well, that has changed now. These tantalize my taste buds to the extreme. I know… it’s just a vegetable, but in my opinion, these are out of this world. Try ’em for yourself and let me know!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp teriyaki (can use regular or a flavored one… I use an extra tbsp Soy Vey Island Teriyaki)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans
- 1/2 c red & orange bell pepper strips
- 1/3 c thin onion slices
- 1/2 c whole cashews
- 2 tbsp sesame seed oil
Directions
- In a small bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, honey & butter.
- I prefer to steam the green beans over boiling them as it keeps a lot of the nutrients, but you can do either.
- In a skillet, heat up sesame seed oil, then saute the bell peppers and onions for 5-10 minutes (or shorter if you like them crispier).
- Add the beans, cashews and lemon juice.
- Saute for a couple of minutes, then add the teriyaki-honey sauce and toss gently.
- Saute on low for another 5-10 min to blend all of the flavors together.
As a side note, I paired this with my grilled orange-and-bourbon salmon. ENJOY!!!
