Simply Spiced String/ Green Beans

A very simple recipe, yet a bit different from your regular string bean side dish. You can serve this warm or chilled, I always serve it chilled as a salad.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 3  lbs  fresh string beans
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup  oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin

Directions

1. Wash and trim the string beans.
2. I usually start out with more string beans than the 3 pounds called for in the recipe since I eat a lot raw and not all of them make it into the pot.
3. Combine with all the other ingredients in a 3 quart pot and mix.
4. Cook, covered on a small flame for 30 minutes.
5. Drain.
6. Serve warm or chilled.
