Sesame Peas and Green Beans

0 shares
Jump to Recipe

Are you done with all the prepping? Are all the pies, sauces, and stuffings made? Did you check everything off your list? What the hell am I asking right? It's only Monday for god's sake, I should give you a break. Said by the woman who buys her Christmas gift on the 23rd...

Sesame Peas and Green Beans

 

My vintage recipe today is for an easy side dish. Sesame, in the form of oil and seeds, is a wonderful addition to the green vegetables here. Green as in peas and green beans, though they are great with greens too, but that's not our recipe here.

My only change are a few drops of sesame oil which tremendously enhances the overall flavor and using some black sesame seeds in addition to white. Don't overdo it with the oil. Too much and it ruins the dish.

I only have one pic of this, which luckily showcases this side dish well, because I accidentally erased my photos from the computer and from my camera.

Description

Melt the butter and add it to the peas and green beans just before serving. If you do it beforehand the butter will solidify. And that's no good.

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 Tbs sesame seeds (I use half white and half black)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 cups peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups green beans
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Cook peas and green beans in abundant salted water. If using frozen peas defrost according to package directions. Transfer to serving plate or dish.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet, when it starts to brown add sesame seeds and sugar. Remove from heat.
  3. Pour over peas and green beans, season with salt, pepper and sesame oil.
  4. Serve immediately.
