Spicy Garlic Green Beans

This summer we had an abundance of green beans in our garden.  I've been trying to replicate Kan Shue Green Beans from Federicks.  Although I wasn't successful these turned out really well.  This is a very simple recipe.  My husband told me not to change it the next time I make it.  I'll take that to mean these turned out good.

Green Beans with Balsamic Roasted Shallots

I love finding new recipes for vegetables.  At first I was nervous making this because I'm not a big fan of onions and this recipe had big chunks of shallots.  But I ended up really like this.  The shallots was nice and sweet and I was wishing I had added more.  This was such a nice change from from all the spicy Indian food we eat.

This recipe is from Cookin Canuck.  I didn't make any changes to it.   When serving you should arrange the beans and then pour the shallots on top but I was lazy and just mixed it all in the pot.

Simple Fresh Green Beans

I'm always looking for ways to add vegetables to dinner.  I found this really simple bean recipe at The Pioneer Woman.  With Indian cooking we have so many spices that it seems like it's not possible to make something taste good without a page long list of spices.  So it's so nice to find a recipe that tastes good and is so simple.  I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. 

 

Kali Mirchi Gosh (Black Pepper Beef)

When I bought that huge package of mushrooms I also bought a huge pack of green beans I almost forgot about.  So I decided to make my mom's Kali Mirchi Gosh with Beans and Potatoes.  The major change I did was how I cooked the beans.  My mom seperately boils then and salt and peppers them.  To me that meant another pot to wash so I just dumped them in the pot when the meat and potatoes were done.  My potatoes also didn't taste seasoned after cooking so I sprinkled salt and pepper on them.  Next time I would add 2 potatoes.
