Spicy Green Beans

Green beans, shallots, and jalapeno combine into a delicious side dish I created with produce from our CSA.

Step: 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and jalapeno; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add green beans and season with salt. Cook and stir until tender but still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in lemon juice to loosen any bits from the bottom of the pan. Serve immediately.

One of most clear way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can made a dish do double-duty .
