Since Costco has *been* selling these great packages of green beans, and I have a package in the fridge, tonight is THE night.
To accompany my green chile jack buffalo burger here's what I'm making. What has been your favorites? smileys/bigsmile.gif

REC: Faux Fried Crispy Green Beans
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and tailed
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten with 1 t H2O
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t garlic powder
1/4 t salt
several grinds of black pepper
dash of chipotle powder
Olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil or a Silpat, drizzle with a little olive oil and coat well.
Blanch beans in boiling water until crisp tender, ~ 3-6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool. Drain and dry them well.
Combine bread crumbs and seasonings. Coat beans with egg mixture then coat with crumb mixture.
Bake 10-15 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.

REC: Green Beans and Yellow Peppers in Lemon Tarragon Vinagrette
2 cups green beans, trimmed and tailed
1 yellow pepper, cored and sliced
1 large lemon, juiced and zested
1 T fresh tarragon, finely chopped
1 T Dijon mustard
1 t salt
few grinds of black pepper
1/3 c olive oil
A few sprinkles of Crumbs Yo!
Combine dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Pour over beans and peppers and serve at room temperature. Sprinkle with a little Crumbs Yo! if desired (and I do).
By the way, this is one of my favorite dressings ever, if you can find good tarragon which has been a challenge this month despite the recent heat wave. Another way I like to use it is with green beans, roasted corn and roasted artichoke hearts (roast corn at 400 with olive oil, S&P for 10 minutes or until starting to caramelize - roast artichokes hearts in same pan with olive oil, S&P for 15-20 minutes until edges begin to brown). The recipe is from "Once Upon A Tart..."
The burger is easy: TJ's buffalo burgers, pan fried, topped with Hatch mild green chiles and jack cheese, on a toasted slice of strong bread.
I may make a chipotle mayo for the green beans but then I might be lazy and just squirt lemon on them....
