About this Recipe

Crisp and bright green, with the satisfying, nutty taste of hempseed!
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh string beans, tips trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small red onion, sliced into thin half-moons
- 1 to 2 cloves fresh garlic, thinly sliced
- Sea salt
- 2 teaspoons mirin
- 1/4 cup shelled hempseed
- Juice of 1 fresh lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Steam the green beans until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
Step 2
Place a small amount of olive oil in a skillet. Add the onion and garlic and place over medium heat.
Step 3
When the onion begins to sizzle, add a pinch of salt and sauté until the onion is limp, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Season with salt to taste and add the mirin.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, until any liquid has evaporated.
Step 6
Remove from the heat and stir in the hempseed and lemon juice.
Step 7
To serve, arrange the steamed green beans on a platter and spoon the onion mixture over them. Serve immediately.
Step 8
Enjoy!
