Fresh Oregano And Blackberry Green Beans Recipes

SUNNY'S BLACKBERRY GINGER GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a large dry pan on medium heat, add the almonds and constantly toss until they become shiny and slightly golden. Remove to a plate to cool.
• In the same large pan on medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil begins to swirl, add the green beans, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss to coat while cooking until bright green, about 5 minutes.
• Add the preserves, soy sauce, ginger and garlic to the pan. Toss to coat and cook until the sauce has soaked into the green beans. Serve with a sprinkle of the toasted almonds.

• Add onion, and sauté until tender. Reduce heat to medium; add oregano, and sauté 1 minute.
• Add green beans, and cook, stirring often, 5 to 8 minutes or until tender. Toss with salt and pepper.

FRESH OREGANO AND BLACKBERRY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with 1 inch of water, and insert a steamer basket. Place the green beans into the steamer basket, and sprinkle with oregano, celery salt, and onion powder. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Steam for 5 minutes, then remove beans from steamer basket, and place into a large bowl.
• Gently fold in the blackberries, allowing the heat from the green beans to pull out their juices. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
