Photo: Fancy Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans
- 2 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper strips
- 1/2 cup thin onion wedges
- 1/2 cup whole cashews
Directions
In a small bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, honey, and butter.
Fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the lemon juice. Drop in the beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until beans are bright green. Drain the beans in a colander and then plunge them into the iced water. Drain again and set aside.
In a skillet, cook the bacon until very crispy, crumble and set aside. Saute the bell pepper and onion in the hot bacon fat for 2 minutes. Add the beans, cashews, and bacon to the skillet. Add the teriyaki-honey sauce and toss gently.

Delicious and colorful dish. I used red, yellow & orange peppers to increase the color variety, and it looked great. I omitted bacon one time and made it with bacon another time. Both were great. Next time I probably will just skip the bacon for simplicity. I also found that making it the day before with last minute reheating and only then combining of the beans, onions, peppers and sauce gives a product just as good as if made just before serving. I added the cashews only then. It was a great hit for our Christmas dinner, even with those who are not crazy about green beans. This recipe is a WINNER! Thanks, Paula!
