Ginger-Garlic Green Beans
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!

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

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.
