Ingredients:

1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 cup water
240g
4 cups green beans
400g
2 tbsp butter
27g
3/4 tsp curry powder
1.50g
1 dash red pepper (spice)
2g
1 dash black pepper
2g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Green Beans:
- Start by washing and trimming the green beans. If they are particularly long, cut them into roughly 2-inch pieces for easier cooking and eating.
2. Boil the Green Beans:
- In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add the trimmed green beans to the pot.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pot. Allow the beans to steam for 6-8 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Stir occasionally.
3. Drain and Set Aside:
- Once the beans are cooked to your liking, drain them in a colander and set them aside.
4. Prepare the Seasoning:
- In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, stir in 3/4 teaspoon of curry powder.
- Add a dash of red pepper and a dash of black pepper to the melted butter mixture. Stir well to combine and let the spices cook for about 1 minute to release their flavors.
5. Combine and Cook:
- Return the drained green beans to the pot, stirring well to coat them in the spiced butter mixture.
- Continue to cook the green beans over medium heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated and heated through.
6. Serve:
- Taste the green beans and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
- Once the beans are well coated and flavorful, remove them from the heat.
- Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course.

Tips:

- Blanch the green beans before sautéing to retain their vibrant green color and crisp texture.

- Adjust the amount of curry powder and red pepper to suit your taste preference.

- Use fresh green beans for the best flavor and texture, but you can also use frozen green beans if fresh are not available.

- Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a fresh, tangy finish.

- Serve with a side of rice or naan bread to make it a complete meal.

Curried green beans with butter and peppers is a simple yet flavorful dish that pairs well with a variety of meals.
