Another fun night with the spiralizer. I have been looking for new veggies to turn into beautiful fun spirals and found out that the beets work amazingly well. As I still try to find simple yet delicious ways to cook from the garden, this was an easy choice.
I started with 2 handfuls of pole beans (though string beans will work just as well ).
I trimmed the stem ends off the beans and added them to about 1-2 inches of water in a large saute' pan. I cooked these at med. high heat for about 5 minutes . I then removed them from the water and put them in a serving bowl.
While they were cooking I peeled the beets and ran them through the spiralizer .
I emptied the water from the cooked beans and added 1-2tsp. of olive oil to the pan, I heated the oil briefly at medium heat and added 3 tsp. garlic. We LOVE garlic in our house so some of you may find 1 -2 tsp. of garlic is sufficient for your tastes. I quickly sauteed the garlic for 30 seconds then added the spiraled beets. These I stirred together for about 5 minutes until the beets were just warm. I then added 4 sprigs of fresh thyme , and sea salt and pepper to taste.
I transferred the beets onto the green beans and sprinkled with 1/4 cup of sliced almonds. This dish had amazing flavor and was very simple to make - Start to finish time was under 15 minutes.
Hope you try this and enjoy it as much as my family did (and yes my boys even ate it)!
