Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic

I made these sauteed green beans as a quick and easy side dish for a college get-together with a few friends. Everybody loved them. Chili pepper flakes add a nice kick and everything is good with garlic.

Step: 1

Heat olive oil in a 10-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until it starts to become translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add vinegar and scrape and stir the brown bits from the pan.

Step: 2

Add green beans, butter, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; toss several times to mix with onions and garlic. Cook until beans are heated through and just start to lose their bright green color, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. If you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can made a dish do more often .
