Garlic green beans
My best friend's son made this on Thanksgiving, and I got the recipe from him. I sooo love it, and it's so simple. Last time I made this, I didn't use cilantro, but it was still awesome. From his email...
2 lbs fresh green beans
2-5 cloves garlic
3-5 T olive oil
chopped cilantro
1 T lemon juice
2-4 T cider vinegar
S&P
"Wash 2 lbs of green beans and cut the strings. Boil them for 10 minutes until soft. Mix 2 to 5 cloves of minced garlic and either ground or fresh chopped coriander in a bowl (keep in mind the coriander flavor will seriously intensify during refrigeration).
Mix the green beans into the bowl and add 3 to 5 tbsp olive oil, mix well to coat the beans with everything. Lick your fingers and then cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Just before serving, add 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 to 4 tbsp cider vinegar, and black pepper to taste. If you add these things sooner, the acidity will overpower the coriander. Serve cold with a cold one."
I like this one because it's fresh, vibrant, cold, and doesn't contain the ubiquitous cream of mushroom soup.

I'd never thought about green beans with cilantro but I love both so I can't wait to try this! Thanks!

(I'm 3000 miles away from some awesome scungili.... This is gonna be a rough Christmas. For Sure.)
Anyway, Buon Natale.
