Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (ripe) Persimmons
- 300 grams Green beans
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the persimmons and green beans under cold running water. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Peel the persimmons, remove the cores, and slice them into 1/4-inch wedges.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in the 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let steam for an additional 3-4 minutes until the green beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and add the persimmon slices to the skillet. Gently stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until the persimmons are slightly caramelized and warmed through.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chives over the dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
