Stir Fried Green Beans and Tomato



This was a quick vegetable side dish my husband came up with. It was insanely delicious!
He used black bean sauce and it was an instant hit with me! If I had thought of it at the time, I would have sprinkled toasted sesame seeds on top.

Fresh green beans, ends trimmed
cherry or pear tomato's cut into half
1 tbl olive oil
1 tbl black bean sauce
sesame seeds
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp minced garlic

Place your olive oil into a pan and heat until shimmering

Add your beans and garlic and saute until the beans become a bit tender

Add your tomatoes, black bean sauce and salt and pepper

Continue sauteing until the beans are your desired tenderness

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve

How to spatchcock a chicken or turkey!

Finishing some of Cheryl's drafts... Keeping spatchcocking simple. Using a VERY sharp cleaver or kitchen shears -- not scissors, carefu...
