Asian Green Bean Salad with Three Sesame Dressing
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs or 1 bunch of Asian long beans, root ends trimmed
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup tahini paste
- 2 limes, juiced and zested
- A dash or two of your favourite hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon of soya sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Method
- Put beans into a large sauté pan and add a big splash of water and a splash or two of olive oil.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid and heat over high heat, steaming the beans. They’re done when bright green and tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- When the water evaporates and the beans are tender the remaining olive oil will begin to sizzle.
- If you like you may continue, removing the lid and lightly browning them for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile whisk the sesame oil, tahini, lime juice, hot sauce, soya, and honey into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- When the beans are done place them on a serving plate and drizzle them with the dressing.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top.
