Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 1 pound green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half if they are particularly long.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, until they are fork-tender. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and set them aside.
Using the same boiling water, add the green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes, until they turn vibrant green but remain slightly crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the red chili flakes, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the cooked potatoes and green beans to the skillet. Toss them gently in the spiced oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
