SCHOOL LUNCH RECIPE WAGON:Green Beans with Garlic and Mustard Seeds
Mustard seeds are to southern, southwestern and eastern India what cumin seeds are to the north. Used to season just about every savory preparation, they evoke a hot and nutty flavor once they are heated in oil.
3 tablespoons peanut oil
½ teaspoon brown mustard seeds
3 garlic chilies, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
14 ounces fine green beans, topped and tailes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
- Cook the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and fry. Stir constantly, ½ minute, or until they boil. Don’t burn
- Add the garlic, chilies, and onion, fry, and stir frequently, 3 minutes, or until the onions soften. Add the beans. Fry 1 minute longer
- Stir in the cumin and salt and continue frying 2 to 3 minutes. Pack warm in a heated lunch tote for a hot lunch on the go.
You can carry your hot lunch in a heated lunch tote.
Happy lunch!!
