Green Beans

Ingredients for 4

• 1 lb Green beans (washed and trimmed)

• Salt to taste

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Step 1

  Fill a large container or pot with water. Attach the sous vide precision cooker and set the temperature to 186ºF/86ºC.

• Step 2

  Wash the green beans and trim the ends.

• Step 3

  Add them into a zip-lock bag, spread out into one single layer. Salt to taste.

• Step 4

  Seal the bag using the “water displacement” technique: seal all but one corner of the bag and slowly place it in the water bath. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag. (Use a vacuum sealer if you have one.)

• Step 5

  Clip a heavy spoon to the edge of the bag to weigh the bag down. Or use a heavy kitchen item to keep the green beans completely submerged in the water. (Make sure the seams are above the water).

• Step 6

  Cook for 30 minutes if you prefer a crispy texture and bright green color. (Cook for 45 minutes for a tender and soft texture.)

• Step 7

  When the timer goes off, take the bag out and remove the green beans from the bag.

• Finishing Steps

• Step 0

  Add oil to the skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add sliced garlic. Stir fry for a few minutes until golden brown.

• Step 1

  Add green beans, and season with salt and pepper. Stir fry for about 30 seconds. Serve warm and enjoy!

• Step 2

  Store cooked green beans in an airtight container and they can last up to 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
