Spicy Green Beans - ‘08

IMG_2373

It is full-on summer time. That means barbeques and, of course, Spicy Green Bean Salad. We make this dish every year to bring to our neighbor’s Memorial Day party. It is always hit. I have learned a few tricks though. Well, actually one trick, and that is to use frozen, cut green beans. I know this sounds like crazy talk, but the truth is that I don’t think you can tell the difference.

For this recipe you cook the beans and then bury them under a sauce, so the difference between fresh and frozen is pretty minimal. The advantage of using frozen is that the beans have their end cut off and are already cut into bite size pieces. This will trim out a lot of prep time. So if you are looking for something to bring to your next backyard barbeque, give these beans a try.
