List of Ingredients




1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons freshly grated gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seed
Zest (grated rind) of 1/2 orange
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Recipe



1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook only until tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain beans and plunge them into ice water to halt cooking action. Drain beans again and cut into 1-inch pieces.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, jalapeño and ginger. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add cumin and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in orange zest, orange and lemon juices, and mustard. Add beans and stir well. Cook just until beans are heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4.
