For this recipe, you will either blanch the green beans in boiling water until they are soft or steam them. This dish is very flavorful and makes fantastic leftovers, so I highly recommend doubling the recipe. As I’ve shared many times, my husband is a very picky eater, and he loved this dish. He’s not a big fan of vegetables, but green beans and bell peppers are the two things he will eat. I served this on white rice for him and cauliflower rice for me.
