NOTES & TIPS


Green Beans. Green beans are in season during the summer months from June through September. Make sure you don’t buy canned green beans, which are a totally different beast compared to the crispness of fresh green beans. You’ll want to buy ones that are firm and snap easily, with a vibrant green color.
Serving. If you are serving these garlic green beans as a side dish, there are a number of main dishes that would go well with them. Ideas that come to mind include pork chops with mashed cauliflower and gravy, baked parmesan chicken or roast chicken, meatloaf, and anything with ham or turkey. I also love eating dinner portions of these garlic green beans, as they’re a great option for a low-carb meal.

Hi! I’m making this as a Thanksgiving side but have to travel to where I will serve it. Would you suggest I make it at home, warm it up at final destination and then add the feta? I don’t think I’d want the feta melted…

I would make it at home, then warm it up at the destination, and top with feta just before serving.
