Spiced Green Bean Niscoise

24 April 2015 by Alan Brewer Leave a Comment

Indian-Sides-1

This dish was created while I was making sides for our Indian butter chicken dinner. Looking through the fridge I seen these green beans, which should have been used last Sunday for our usual roast, and yes, this never happened.

So as the other sides were made or in progress I thought what could I use these for our more so how could I create this dish. I then thought of a classic, green bean niscoise. Sautéed green beans with garlic fine diced onion and concasse tomatoes. On this occasion I added some spices and a touch of lemon juice at the end to create this warming side dish that really complimented our curry. This I must say you should try and will not be disappointed.

This was delicious, simple and so good to just leave while you work away doing what you do. This dinner allowed me to do a few jobs around the house as I spend some time off during the kids half term.
