This is part of an experiment to get Mike to like green beans. He did eat them, although I don’t think I have him converted.

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed and washed
  • 1 medium onion, sliced into half moons
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 heaping tablespoon miso paste
  • freshly cracked pepper
  1. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan. Add the onions and cook for a few minutes until onions start to brown.
  2. Add the green beans and a generous amount of pepper. Stir. Add the water, cover with a tightly fitting lid, and reduce the heat to medium low.
  3. Cook, stirring once or twice, for about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Once the green beans are done, stir the miso paste into the pan juices. Mix well. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve.

(Serves 4)

I used red miso but you can use darker or lighter to suit your taste.

Mmm!

Have you tried roasting green beans? That seems to do the trick for a lot of vegetables when serving them to skeptics :) The green beans get all sweet and crackly.

I have not tried roasting green beans, but it sounds delicious. I do love roasting veggies. Spring has been slow coming here, so roasting sounds good. Thanks for the tip!
