Pan-fried butter beans
Crinkly crackly beans with simple herbs and spices
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can butter beans 15oz can. drained and rinsed, patted dry.
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and bruised
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary thyme or cilantro or other fresh herbs will work too.
- 2 pinches red pepper flakes
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir beans (be gentle, you don't want to squish them) into hot oil until the skins are golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Stir garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into beans; continue cooking until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drizzle vinegar over the beans and toss.
Notes
Recipe found on Food Wishes, by Chef John. As for the health effects of frying in olive oil, I found this post informative but inconclusive.
