Vegan 30 minutes or fewer
Garam masala (literally, hot spice) is an aromatic blend that includes cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom. A little bit goes a long way and adds a delicious flavor to this simple dish.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tsp.)
- 1 tsp. garam masala
- 1/2 tsp. brown mustard seeds
- 3/4 lb. green beans, trimmed and cut in half (about 4 cups)
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
Preparation
Combine oil, garlic, garam masala, mustard seeds, green beans, salt and 1/4 cup water in large skillet. Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat 5 minutes, or until beans are just tender.
Uncover skillet, and increase heat to medium high. Cook 3 minutes, or until liquid has evaporated. Sauté 3 minutes more, or until beans start to brown. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and serve.
