Orange-Soy Glazed Green Beans

Submitted by Oolala

"Recipe states that caramelizing onions creates a sweet, rich flavor. While the trick is to prepare them slowly, you can increase the heat slightly and cook them covered if you're short on time. From a supermarket card."

My family loved this recipe which masked the flavor of green beans to them. I loved it too, however instead of masking the flavor I thought it enhanced it. Made for Bargain Basement.
