Easy Garlic-
Sesame Green
Beans
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 pounds green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Blanch Beans

pot. Transfer the cooked beans (with a skimmer) to a bowl. Toss the warm
beans in olive/garlic/salt mixture.
Assemble
Just before serving, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve at room
temperature.
