Garlic Wasabi And Sage Green Beans

1. 1

   Snap or cut the stem ends off the green beans, rinse them off and add to a medium size bowl. Add the olive oil (reserving about 2 teaspoons of olive oil for the skillet), garlic powder, sage, wasabi powder, and sea salt.

2. 2

   Toss the green beans until coated. Set aside. Slice the garlic into pieces about 1/4-inch thick and set aside for a moment.

3. 3

   Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add the green beans to the skillet and the reserved 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the butter and garlic and stir (if using regular green beans, let them saute in the pan for about 6 minutes before adding the butter and garlic). Continue stirring.

4. 4

   Keep stirring until the garlic starts to turn a light brown or golden color (about 6 minutes) which is about the time when the green beans should be done. If the garlic is cooking too fast and starting to turn a dark brown color, turn the heat down just a bit. Some of the thinner green beans should be a little soft while others should be a bit crisp. Try a quick sample and salt to taste.

5. 5

   Serve hot right out of the skillet as a side dish.
