Green Beans with Sesame & Garlic image

These are green beans with attitude. I think I got the recipe from Vegetarian Times, and it's never missed yet when served alongside a nice piece of fish or tuna steak. I like to cook the beans early in the day so I can throw it together in a snap at mealtime. I also use more garlic.

These green beans are a great way to use up leftover rice. Simply stir in some cooked rice and you've got a complete meal.

I added some chopped red pepper to this recipe for a bit of extra color and crunch.

I didn't have any sesame seeds on hand, so I used sunflower seeds instead. They worked just as well.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

These green beans were a bit too crunchy for my liking. I think I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

These green beans are a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less oil.
