If you're a fan of sesame seeds, as I am, you will love this idea for serving fresh green beans. It's simple and delicious--a great way to savor those summer green beans!
1/2 tbls olive oil
1 tbls sesame seeds
1 lb fresh green beans, washed and patted dry
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add sesame seeds, stirring occasionally. When seeds begin to darken (about 2 minutes), stir in green beans. Stir-fry green beans until they turn bright green.
Pour in chicken broth and cover. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook until beans are tender-crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Uncover & cook until liquid is absorbed.
Season with salt and pepper as desired, and serve immediately.
