Spicy Stringy Beans

   This recipe will rock your taste buds, and your diet. My sister Niki has been most supportive of my Vegetarian kick, and made this delicious delicacy for me on several occasions. It's super easy, and cheap, to make and absolutely mouth watering. For those of you not too keen on spice, don't worry, you can always tame the fire, it isn't packed with that much punch anyway.

What you'll need:




1 bag of extra fine whole green beans (frozen and thawed)
1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 White onion
1 Tablespoon of garlic (minced or fresh)
Crushed red peppers
A dash of salt and pepper
Now lets get jiggy with it

1. Add tablespoon of olive oil and half of your onion, thinly chopped into small pieces, to skillet over medium heat. Skillet until onion becomes slightly transparent. 
2. Add your bag of thawed extra fine green beans to the mix and skillet for about 5 minutes. If it's not completely thawed, pop the bag in the microwave for a few, you want these bad boys thawed!
3. Add desired amount of crushed red peppers, 1 tablespoon of garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper.
4. Skillet everything together for about 15 min, or until your green beans start to loosin up. You don't want them falling apart, but you want them a little less on the crunchy side. Taste test are helpful in determining if you need more garlic or red peppers, so taste away.
5.Bon Appetit! :)
