Sizzling Green Beans

"Wish I knew where I got this recipe! Smells great while cooking. I will try to use something to make it easier to remove the red pepper flakes (maybe strain it carefully into another pan). I use nice pinch of salt and about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. black pepper."

  1. These beans are totally sizzling. Definitely worth the little extra work. I cut down most of the cooking times in half and it suited our tastes perfectly. Thank you for helping us bring this ordinary vegetable to extraordinary heights.
     
  2. These green beans are full of flavor. I loved the heat from the red pepper infused oil. I'm saving my fresh tomatoes for BLT's so I used a 15 ounce can of tomatoes. So in step 5 I cut the cooking time in half. I served this with Recipe #278750 Made this for *Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Game* 2008
     
  3. I made this as a side dish with some spinach lasagna and some bread... it was the best meal I've ever tasted.
     
  4. Oolala, Oolala. Loved these beans. Only thing I changed was to use far less olive oil and to shorten the cooking time of all the ingredients once they got to the skillet; probably a total of 3-4 minutes in the skillet. It was perfect.
     
  5. Excellent green beans. I did use a bit too many red pepper flakes, as I am notorious for not measuring. The tomato "sauce" was a bit spicy for our tastes, but this was my own fault. The other seasonings blend well and other than the extra heat, the flavor is fabulous. Green beans are a favorite at our house, and we will have these often.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
