Sharing a recipe



This was a recent dinner at our house... and these green beans were delicious, so I am sharing the recipe. It is from the website Eat Better America. Here is the link to the recipe:

3cups water
1 1/2lb green beans
2tablespoons teriyaki baste and glaze (from 12-oz bottle)
1tablespoon margarine or butter, softened
1tablespoon honey
1/4teaspoon ground mustard
1/2cup drained roasted red bell peppers (from 7-oz jar), cut into strips
1/2cup cashew pieces
1.In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat water to boiling. Add beans. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 5 minutes. Cover and boil 3 to 5 minutes longer or until crisp-tender. Drain beans; return to Dutch oven.
2.In small bowl, mix teriyaki glaze, margarine, honey and mustard until well blended. Pour over beans; toss until evenly coated. Stir in bell peppers. Sprinkle with cashews.

I omitted the butter completely, and didn't miss it at all. Be careful not to overcook the beans. They should be crisp-tender.
If you try them let me know how you liked them.
