---

Serves 4

Ingredients

- 1/2lb green beans
- 1/2c Chili Pepper Jam
- 1/2c edamame, frozen
- 4 garlic gloves, sliced thin
- 3tbs olive oil
- sea salt (to taste)

- 1/4c sliced almonds
- 2tbs sesame seeds

Directions

- Blanch your green beans and edamame in salted, boiling water for 2-4 minutes depending on your done-ness preference. Immediately remove from heat, drain and drop them into ice cold water.

- Once again drain the beans well in a colander and set aside to dry a little. Use a paper towel if you wish.

- Place your sliced almonds & sesame seeds in a pan over medium low heat. Toast the nuts & seeds stirring every few minutes until golden brown. Set aside.

- In a pan over medium heat, heat your olive oil and sliced garlic. Allow garlic to cook just until golden. Turn off heat. Carful not to burn!

-Add the beans to the pan with oil and toss to combine. Season with salt to taste.

To serve:

-Add beans to plate, drizzle with Chili Pepper Jam*

-Sprinkle toasted almonds & sesame on top

* You can heat the jam over low heat stirring quickly if you would like to thin it a little for drizzling.

** If you don’t have sesame or edamame its ok to omit, :)
