Mac Nut Chinese Long Beans
"So simple! So good! I get the Mauna Loa Maui Onion & Garlic flavored mac nuts for a boost of flavor or have added thick slices of onion + garlic cloves then remove before cooking the long beans. Cashews also work very well with a sprinkle of fresh dill as a garnish."

directions
- Place rough chop mac nuts in pan with olive oil and butter & turn burner on as low as low can go. Leave it there the longer the better, I usually leave for an hour while making the rest of dinner.
- Leave long beans long or cut into smaller bite size pieces. Crank up the heat and add long beans. Do a quick stir fry for 4-5 minutes (or longer if you prefer a more cooked veggie).
- Remove to serving dish. Garnish with green end of green onion sliced on the diagonal. Perhaps another sprinkle of chopped mac nuts, too.

I didn't stop to realise that green beans are not the same as Chinese long beans, so I used green beans ... and cashews, as per you suggestion, because I had them ...... I followed your recipe, and man, these are fabulous!!!!! I will be making this again soon, these were really scrumptious and my only regret was in halving the recipe, I could have eaten LOTS of these!!! Love this recipe, made for PAC Fall 2012

I'm lucky in that my husband will eat just about anything I put in front of him, even those labeled as "fails". Even then, he will choke it down without to much grumbling.
After living on Kaua'i for nearly 14 years, I discovered a lot of Pacific Rim recipes and enjoy learning any style cuisine.
These days I am learning more and more about the Paleo and Primal way of eating and am convinced that the 35+ years of "everything low fat" and the insane amounts of processed foods play a huge part of why people in these United States are so sick and overweight. Anyway, I'll not get on my "low fat fallacy" soap box.
So every morning I have my bullet proof coffee complete with butter, coconut oil, heavy whipping cream (HWC) and some Himalayan salt. Drink my ketones (Keto//OS www.carolannneill.shopketo.com) and enjoy life!
