Keep it simple; when it comes to vegetables there is no better recipe than a simple one. Not only is this recipe quick, and easy but it is incredibly delicious. You only need four ingredients – Haricots Vert, sesame oil, salt and the star of the show is the Szechuan Peppercorn, which you can find in your grocery store spice aisle. I also usually prefer to use Haricots Vert, better know as French style string beans. I personally feel they have better flavor than regular string beans so much so you can eat them raw. This simple recipe is also great for grilling – just place them in a grill basket and grill away. We typically eat string beans at least once a week – they are loaded with nutrients and low in calories. I encourage you to try this recipe and hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do. A great paring is my Broiled Salmon Recipe. Happy Cooking!
