Green Beans Ezekiel
"I adapted this recipe from a book called Cookbook of Foods from Bible Days.
The original uses frozen beans and red wine vinegar, and you can, too, if you'd like. It also calls for boiling the beans, but I prefer them steamed. I also leave the pimientos out occasionally.
If you want to use dried dill, use 1 teaspoon."

Great recipe! Made as directed with black olives and roasted red pepper in place of pimiento only because that's what I had on hand. Loved how quick this is to make, too. Thanks, Chocolatl! -
Silly me, I forgot to buy green beans at the farmers' market but luckily I have on hand a bag of Cascadian Farms' organic greens beans to save the day! Switched red bell pepper to pimientos because we like the fresh taste of bells and left them raw. I skipped adding the green beans to the skillet with the butter and balsamic vinegar. I simply poured the sauce over the vegetables. Couldn't make up my own what type of olives so I chose a variety of imported ones. Fresh dill from the garden and had the dish on the table in less than 15 minutes! Thanks for posting. Reviewed for Veg Swap May 2010. -
This is an OH WOW! I love the combination of flavors...although I just splashed the balsamic vinegar; I prefer a light touch with vegetables or all I can taste is the balsamic. I recommend this highly. -
one of the best green bean recipes I have come across in a long time, the only change I made was I added in some chopped fresh garlic and sauteed in the butter before adding in the other ingredients, I used green beans from my garden that I froze, this will be made again, thanks for this great recipe Pat, this was made for KK's Chef's Pick game -
