Fried Green Beans (vegetarian, ketchup, horseradish, mustard)

[Cuisinette]

This is a vegetarian dish so everyone could use it.

I make it always for BBQ or potlucks.

4 cans of Fancy Cut Green Beans (wash and drain, well)
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 garlic clove
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sweet paprika

In a large skillet on medium high, heat the oil, add drained green beens.

Sauté for about 5 minutes then add dill, onion flakes, salt and pepper to taste.

Cover with a lid and sauté further (about 10 minutes) until you see brown fried spots on the beans, mix few times. If the heat is to high then lower to medium. Don't burn it, it has to be between simmering and frying.

Add the grated garlic. Mix few times to infuse with the beans.

Turn the heat off and then add paprika, mix well until all the paprika is dissolved.

Serve.

And this is what you are cooking, I hope you like it. Enjoy!

I just did some fresh green beans same way but w/o dill and I added lots of garlic and diced tomatoes.

Not necessary, but if it is too small cut it may melt too much and become a mass. They are pretty tender just out of the can.

Right

Take those green beans and dredge them in tempura batter and fry them in light olive oil.
Dip in a mix of mustard, ketchup, horseradish and hot sauce.

That would only work with real green beans, not canned. But I'm with you! I love tempura veggies - especially the Japanese pumpkin. I wish they would serve just that sometimes instead of the mixed version.

I use canned green beans as well as canned lima beans this way. If the oil is hot enough for a fast fry, the batter cooks so fast it doesn't over cook the pre-cooked beans.
