Asian Green Beans

This was a great find, adapted from Martha Stewart Everyday Food. The original recipe called for wax beans, which were lovely but over $4.50 a pound. I substituted in season and wonderfully crisp green beans and they were delicious.

Ingredients:
1 pound clean, trimmed green beans
bit of olive oil, salt and pepper
2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp grated fresh ginger
3/4 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp light brown sugar
1/4c unsalted peanuts
1/4c cilantro leaves

Toss your beans with a little olive oil and salt and pepper then roast either on the BBQ or in an oven at 450* on a cookie sheet for about 15 minutes. While your beans are cooking, mix soy sauce, ginger, lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl. Toss beans with dressing, peanuts and cilantro. Yum.
