Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 100 grams freshly grated coconut
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 pieces dried red chilies
- 10 leaves curry leaves
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, then slice them thinly into small pieces.
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly with the side of a knife.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the mustard seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add the cumin seeds, dried red chilies, and curry leaves, stirring them briefly until fragrant.
Add the crushed garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté for another minute until they are golden.
Add the sliced green beans to the skillet, stirring to combine with the spices.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder and sea salt over the beans, stirring to coat them evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the beans to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender-crisp.
Add the freshly grated coconut to the skillet and mix well with the beans.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes uncovered, stirring continuously to ensure the coconut is toasted evenly with the beans.
Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed. Serve hot as a side dish or with cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
