This recipe for green beans, from the Caucasian Republic of Georgia, is absolutely delicious! The green beans are dressed with a sauce that consists of walnuts, herbs, garlic, red wine vinegar, onion, and paprika. You must try this delicious side dish from Georgia!!
Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans topped and tailed, and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 2/3 cup walnuts finely ground
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 red onion minced
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1.5 ts paprika
- 2 tbsp cilantro minced finely
- 2 tbsp parsley minced finely
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the green beans. Top and tail them. Cut into 2 inch pieces. Fill a large saucepan with water (add 1/2 ts salt) and bring to the boil. Boil the green beans for approximately 10 minutes. Drain and allow to come to room temperature.
- Make your dressing by combining the other ingredients in a mixing bowl: walnuts, garlic, red onion, red wine vinegar, vegetable oil, paprika, parsley, and cilantro. Mix all ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the green beans have come to room temperature add to the dressing and mix well. Refrigerate for at least one hour before consuming. If you can leave the beans a little longer than 1 hr, the flavor should be more developed.
