Photo: Spicy Green Beans with Garlic Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup clarified butter or vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 small green peppers such as jalapeno or serrano, stems and seeds removed, minced
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 pound green beans, tough ends removed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
In a large saute pan, heat the butter or oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, peppers, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until the garlic begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add the green beans, water, salt, and stir well. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and cook uncovered, stirring, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and adjust seasoning, to taste.

I thought it was great. I cooked the green beans til they were very soft for hubby. Left out sesame seeds for the same reason. Will definitely make again; nice side to jazz up a plain entree.

I have about a dozen Emeril recipes that I make regularly and many more that I've tried and enjoyed. However, this one will not be one of them. Very bland, very dry. It should have been spicy, but wasn't. Followed the recipe exactly, but just didn't work for us. I'm not even sure what I can recommend to improve it. Just... bland.

I made this as a side dish to our dinner one Saturday night and several days later my husband was asking for the "Spicy Garlic Green Beans" again. The only thing I changed was saute' the green beans longer (15 minutes for my husband's taste. This recipe has been added to my current recipe box and I plan on making a double batch this Thanksgiving! Thank you Emeril.
