Green Beans Algerian Style
Found this recipe on the web recently. Love the combination of flavors. Use the best quality green beans available. Canned beans won't work in this recipe. Update: i've eliminated the step for submerging the beans in ice cold water per suggestion of a reviewer. Always room for improvement!!
Steps
Clean and trim green beans.
Blanch the green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 1 minute or until bright green.
Drain the green beans , rinse to stop the cooking process and set aside.
Heat up the oil in a saut pan.
Place remaining ingredients in the saucepan over medium heat and cook for two minutes.
Stirring constantly.
Pour the spice mixture over the green beans and toss gently until beans are thoroughly coated.
Serve warm.
