Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. If they are long, you can cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the red hot chili peppers. Depending on your spice tolerance, you may want to remove the seeds for a milder heat. Be careful while handling the peppers, and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add a pinch of salt.
- Add the green beans to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender.
- Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced red hot chili peppers to the pan. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the peppers begin to soften.
- Add the green beans to the skillet with the garlic and chili peppers.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric powder. Stir well to ensure the turmeric coats the green beans evenly.
- Continue to cook the mixture on medium heat for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender and everything is well combined.
- Transfer the green beans to a serving dish. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
Tips:
- Make sure to wash and trim the green beans before cooking to remove any tough ends.
- For a less spicy option, you can reduce the number of chili peppers or remove the seeds to reduce the heat.
- Sauté the garlic in butter over medium heat to prevent it from burning, ensuring a nice golden color and rich flavor.
- Turmeric can stain surfaces and utensils, so be mindful when handling it.
