One of my favorite pieces of kitchen equipment is my steamer. It's a wonderfully simple way to cook any vegetables perfectly, especially green beans! This recipe was featured in Cooking Light Magazine in a feature called "Around the World with Green Beans". It calls for steaming the green beans.

 




My family likes ginger, and they like green beans so it was no surprise they liked this recipe. I like the warmth the garlic and chicken flavoring add to this recipe. Instead of using hot water and chicken-flavored bouillon granules called for in the original recipe I use low sodium chicken stock. Now we have two favorite greenbean and ginger recipes!

Try our Green Beans with Ginger Butter recipe too!

Either of these green bean and ginger recipes make fabulous Thanksgiving or Christmas side dishes!





Ginger-Garlic Green Beans

1 lb. fresh green beans
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
8 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup low sodium chicken stock

Wash the beans, trim the ends, and cut into 2" pieces. Arrange beans over vegetable steamer and place over boiling water. Cover and steam 5 minutes, until the green beans are tender crisp. Drain beans and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil over low heat. Add ginger and garlic and sauté 3 minutes ,or until tender. Add chicken stock, stir. Add beans, cook 4 minutes stirring occasionally.

How to freeze fresh green beans
If you've been spoiled like me eating fresh green beans and dread the end of the season and going back to factory frozen or canned green beans, you should know that freezing green beans is the easiest way to have them year round. Many people prefer to freeze green beans as opposed to canning them. Freezing is much less time consuming and requires fewer tools. Canning requires jars, lids, and a pressure cooker.

Different varieties of green beans
I remember the first time I heard the Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten use the term haricot verts I couldn't think what it could be. Knowing how Ina loves French cooking I knew that it must be some fabulous French ingredient I'd never heard of. Well, imagine my surprise when I leared that haricot verts were green beans! True haricot verts are very thin, crisp and tender green beans.

Green Bean Salad, Provençal
This is an amazingly easy and tasty salad to showcase lovely haricots verts from the cookbook Simca's Cuisine by Simone "Simca" Beck. The French flair of this salad is unmistakable. We never knew that French cuisine could be so unfussy. We've made this salad many times but tend to enjoy it best when we can also showcase other produce grown right in our garden. We use our homegrown tomatoes, fennel, and basil.
