This is another easy Indian recipe. It's attributed to Cooking Light in their 1990 feature Around the World with Green Beans. This is a simple to make dish that includes very familiar ingredients that are taken up a notch with the addition of curry powder, which is easy to find in your local supermarket. It's a perfect side dish any night of the week.

Indian Style Green Beans & Carrots

1/3 Cup thinly sliced green onions
1 Teaspoon curry powder
1/4 Teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons reduced calorie margarine, melted
1/2 Pound fresh green beans
2 Medium carrots, peeled, cut into 1 1/2 inch Julienne strips

Combine first four ingredients in a bowl. Stir well and set aside.

Wash the beans; trim the ends and remove strings. Cut beans into 1 1/2 inch pieces.

Arrange the green beans and carrots in a vegetable steamer and place over boiling water. Cover and steam for five minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain well.

Fried green beans recipe, Deep fried green beans recipe
As with other recipes there are many variations of fried green beans. Actually the second one we've posted seems more like true fried green beans to us, but the first recipe works well too. If we use bacon fat in the first recipe we don't add the lemon juice/zest. Fried Green Beans 2 tablespoons olive oil (we prefer bacon fat for taste) 1 tablespoon butter 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut to preferred length.

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.
