Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams green beans
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the green beans and trim off the ends.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until it softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the paprika, ground black pepper, and salt, ensuring the green beans are evenly coated.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and water. Cover the skillet and let the green beans simmer for 10 minutes, or until tender.
While the green beans are cooking, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and set aside.
Uncover the skillet with the green beans, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the savory green beans over a bed of the fluffy white rice, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
