Mustard Green Beans

dumbell579's Note:

Great Pakistani side dish recipe for string green beans. Very easy to make and very tasty by itself, served with roti/naan, regular bread or even plain rice. This recipe is pretty much to taste so you can adjust it to your liking.

• Total Time: 7 mins
• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 7 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 (14 ½ ounce) can French style green beans
• oil
• salt
• black pepper
• ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
• chili powder
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
• ½ teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 tablespoon regular yellow mustard (the kind you put on hot dogs, also to taste)

Directions:

1. Lightly oil a small saucepan or fry pan, about a teaspoon and heat on medium high heat.
2. Add the mustard seeds and let them fry a minute or so.
3. Add the green beans, chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and black pepper with just a little bit of water about 1/4 cup.
4. Stir, cover and let cook for about 5 mins on medium high heat or until the green beans are done/tender.
5. Turn the heat to high and stir in the regular mustard. Cook it on high till the water evaporates out of the oil and the mustard is cooked inches.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning to liking. My husband prefers it medium on the spice but a little bit stronger on the mustardy taste.
7. Note: once the regular yellow mustard is cooked in, it will not be in strong in taste as it is when you would normally eat it on a hot dog, so keep that in mind when you add it, for a stronger flavor you will have to use more.
