A Little on the Side!

Here is a product of my imagination. It is a fabulous change in flavor that renews interest in eating those important vegetables. I used green beans, but many other veggies would also blend well with the flavors here.

Sesame Green Beans

2 cups green beans, cleaned
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp course sea salt.

Steam beans to crisp tender.
In a saute pan, heat seeds over medium-high heat. Shake pan as seeds roast. Roast until you smell the seeds and see a slight change in seed color. Remove from heat and put salt in pan with seeds.

Transfer beans from steamer to serving bowl. Sprinkle seed mixture on beans, the moisture from steaming should assist in keeping some seeds on the beans.
