Flat beans Aglio e Olio (side dish)

Have you ever paid attention to this green beans in a market?

It’s something seasonal in Germany at the moment.

You can find them at most super market and they are like 2EUR for 500g.

If you haven’t you must try them right now.

They are very tasty despite appearances and really easy to cook.

200g flat beans

100g bell pepper

Stir fry them quickly.

STEP 6

Finally, drizzle over the soy sauce and turn off the heat.

You can add boiled pasta too ,if desired.

Serve the beans with black pepper and roasted peanuts as topping.

I'll say it again.

They taste better than how they look. So don’t ignore them in stores.

By the way this recipe was originally my asparagus recipe.

So you can also cook green asparagus with the same method.

Enjoy :)
