This method lends an unexpected smokey flavor that you don’t get from any other method. Because green beans cook so quickly, they can be al dente and full of flavor.
1 pound (450 grams) French green beans (fresh, not frozen)
1 tablespoon oil (use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, not extra-virgin olive oil)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon Glicks Soy Sauce (use a wheat-free version for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon Gefen Honey
2 cloves garlic, chopped, or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
dash ginger (optional)
crushed red pepper, to taste (optional)
Parboil the green beans for three minutes in a pot or in the microwave.
Heat the oil in an aluminum pan over medium heat (not high). Add the green beans in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan. Let it sit until it develops charred spots in several places.
Remove the green beans from the pan and set aside. When they’re all finished, season with the remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Heads up: they’ll be gone in minutes!
