Blistered Green Beans with Garlic

Blistered Green Beans with Garlic

adapted from Bon Appetit

I always make extra garlic chips because my husband likes to pick them out of the dishes. Scale back if you do not like so much garlic. It is rather spicy so if you do not like hot food reduce or eliminate the red pepper flakes.

Cooking spray

1/2 lb. green beans, trimmed

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1 1/2 tsp. capers, drained and rinsed

1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Kosher salt and Freshly ground black pepper

1. In a frying pan coated with cooking spray, cook with minimal movement until they begin to brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
2. Continue to cook about another 5 minutes, until they are cooked through, tossing frequently with tongs.
3. Add the garlic, capers and red pepper flakes and continue cooking until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute.
4. Transfer beans to a platter and spoon the garlic caper mixture on top.
5. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Enjoy!
