Green and Yellow Beans with Dill

I am revisiting some recipes… this is ideal for Meatless Mondays and there are loads of beans in the farmers market right now!!

  • 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups green and yellow beans, trimmed and chopped
  • Salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 cup dill, chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped

Heat a heavy saucepan with the olive oil. Add the cumin and coriander seeds. Saute for a minute on medium heat and add the green onions and ginger. Saute on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green beans, salt and cayenne pepper. Saute on high heat for a minute, turn heat to medium and cover with lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes- just enough time to cook the beans. Make sure not to overcook. Take the lid off and turn the heat on medium high and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Check for seasonings and add dill and cilantro. Mix well and serve.
