Blistered Sesame Green Beans
Blistered green beans tossed in soy and sesame, and finished with crunchy almonds. These beans are fast, flavour-packed veg at its best.
Ingredients
- 400 g green beans or French beans washed and trimmed
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tsp sesame seeds plus extra to garnish
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds
- Flaky sea salt to finish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add the olive oil and sesame oil.
- Add the green beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Toss occasionally, until blistered and lightly charred in spots.
- Cover with a lid in between tossing to allow them to steam until just tender but still bright green.
- Remove the lid. Add the soy sauce, sesame seeds, salt and pepper. Toss well then add the honey and cook for a final 30–60 seconds until the beans are glossy and coated in the pan juices.
- Transfer to a serving platter. Spoon over any pan juices, then finish with toasted slivered almonds, extra sesame seeds and a pinch of flaky sea salt if needed.
