ScoutTN Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 We are getting lots and lots from our CSA farmer and I need some new ways to cook/serve them. These are basic string beans, medium to large. Default is steamed, with butter and salt on them. Sometimes with toasted, sliced almonds mixed in. I occasionally make gb casserole from scratch, but it's not a family favorite. Dh likes them cold or warm with vinegarette on them. I put them in soup and stir fry Any suggestions?

Just Kate Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I like to roast them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. I roast until they are starting to shrivel a bit - kind of ugly but good! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Pan-fried with scallions. It sometimes is helpful to pre-steam them just a tiny bit so they cook in the pan a little faster. It's okay for the scallions to get a little blackened.

JennyD Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I make this combo roast/stir-fry thing surprisingly often; everyone likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I steam them slightly in the microwave, then sauté in olive oil with salt, pepper, and fresh garlic for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 My MIL made something like this once. It was good. I wouldn't have thought of this combination. https://www.food.com/recipe/green-bean-gratinate-with-cherry-tomatoes-mozzarella-and-basil-127347 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 We do them roasted the way described above or steamed and tossed with a bit of butter pretty routinely. However, we also do them in stir fry a ton. And sometimes in veggie soup. I like them in a green bean heavy stir fry with chicken or shrimp over rice.

Tap Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Google chicken and string bean stir-fry. This is one of my favorite meals at chinese restaurants. I make many versions based on what I have on hand. Sometimes I steam them. Saute some choped up steak with onions and garlic. Toss with sesoning salt for a nice bold flavor. Add some fresh parmesan cheese at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're always a little too chewy! BUT, the couple of times I've had them cold and crunchy, I really do love them. I'll have to try this recipe!
