Sesame Green Beans
NeedTaste |This is a combination of 2 recipes or rather taking the best part of a recipe and putting it to better use. The sesame sauce adds a pop of flavor to the green beans, making them less an everyday dish and more like a holiday dish, but easy enough to make any ole day you want.. Serving a sesame peanut butter sauce with the fresh green beans is an excellent pairing. The warm sauce is bursting with sesame and peanut butter flavor. The sauce is a bit spicy but the fresh green beans cool the bite down a bit. We really loved the sauce - it elevates basic green beans. You could use this sauce for fresh spring rolls and steamed dumplings too.
