No Wrinkled Noses Here

In this season of indulgence (and what a judgement adding "over" to that is), we're making a concerted effort to eat our fruits and vegetables.  This week, we've had roasted broccoli and cauliflower and butternut squash as well as salad, apples, oranges, and "wrinkled" green beans.  I wasn't sure the beans would go over, since the kids didn't like last week's green bean casserole.  But I should've know if I put enough soy sauce on it, they'll eat almost anything.  Including a big bag of green beans.

"Wrinkled" Green Beans

green beans, washed and trimmed and cut into preferred size
garlic, minced--as much as you like (garlic powder suffices)
olive oil
soy sauce
Maggi

If green beans are tough or old, steam or blanch first.  I steamed ours in a covered dish in the microwave for 5 minutes.

Heat oil and saute minced garlic.  Add green beans and cook on medium high until green beans begin to wrinkle.  Add soy sauce and Maggi to taste, along with about 1/2 cup water.  Cover and cook until desired tenderness.  Serve immediately.
