New Orleans Style String Beans image

From Mad Hungry by Lucinda Scala Quinn. The honey and cajun seasoning make a fantastic combo. You can leave out the cognac and still have a good result, in fact it may be even better without!

I followed the recipe exactly and the string beans turned out terrible. I don't recommend this recipe.

Not my favorite recipe. The beans were overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

The string beans were a little bland, but the sauce was good.

These string beans were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not used to spicy food. The recipe was easy to follow and the beans were cooked perfectly, so I would definitely recommend it to others.
