A Taste of Thai Coconut Milk adds extra flavor and creaminess to these spicy green beans.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 small chili pepper
  • 1 lemon, for 1 teaspoon zest and 1 tablespoon juice
  • 1 one inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (canola or peanut)
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk*
  • *Store remaining coconut milk in a glass jar and refrigerate. Use in smoothies, soups, sauces or in cooking oatmeal.

Directions

  1. Trim the ends of the beans and cut into 1 inch pieces.
  2. Remove seeds from the chili pepper and dice. Discard seeds.
  3. Grate the zest (yellow part) from the lemon rind.
  4. Grate the ginger (for 1 tablespoon) discarding the stringy part that will come from grating it.
  5. Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the diced chili, ginger and lemon zest. Sauté for one minute.
  6. Add the Coconut Milk and bring to a boil.
  7. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Cook over medium high heat until crisp-tender, about five minutes. It is better to undercook this dish, to avoid soggy beans.
  8. When beans are almost cooked, add lemon juice. Finish cooking and serve warm.
