Sauteed Persimmons With Green Beans With Chives

Received persimmons from a friend and needed to find a recipe to share with the group for dinner.

Cook beans according to directions.

Usually frozen beans are boiled for 2-4 minutes and then drained.

After draining , immediately plunge beans into a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking and drain.

In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium high heat until hot and saut persimmons until lightly browned and softened , about 4 minutes.

Add a pinch of sugar to help sweeten the persimmons.

Add beans and 1 / 4 cup chives and saut , stirring gently , until hot.

Transfer mixture to a platter and sprinkle remaining 1 / 4 cup chives on top.
