Garlic Green Beans
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
- Salt and black pepper
- 500g green beans, trimmed
- 1-2 tablespoons vegan butter (OPTIONAL)
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 large bunch of spring greens or kale or Swiss chard
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice or 1 tbsp cider vinegar/balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- COCONUT FLAKES
- 2 cups of coconut flakes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce/tamari/coconut aminos
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 pinch sea salt
Preparation
Heat oil in a pan on medium heat, add sliced red onions, season with salt and black pepper and cook for 5-10 minutes until onions brown and soften. The goal is for them start to caramalise before adding in the rest of the ingredients
Add garlic and cook for a minute until they soften then add in green beans. Mix to combine with onions and garlic. Place a lid on the pan and allow the green beans to cook for around 5 minutes. Remove lid and mix, season with vegan butter(optional) salt and black pepper and cook for another few minutes. Don’t over cook the greens! You want them still vibrant in colour with a very slight bite to them
When there is just a few minutes of cooking time left, add spring greens, nutritional yeast and lemon/vinegar and mix. Taste to adjust seasoning. Once greens have wilted remove from heat and serve with smokey coconut flakes
