Ginger Garlic Green Beans

Here's another recipe inspired by September's Gourmet Magazine. It always helps if your ingredients are home grown. I used canned beans from my garden and next summer I'll try this or a similar recipe using fresh beans. The ginger is home grown, too. I literally dug it fresh to use. The garlic was frozen from this spring.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 pints canned home grown green beans
• 3 home grown garlic cloves
• 1 T soy sauce
• 1 T home grown ginger, grated
• 2 tsp unflavored rice vinegar
• 1 T olive oil
• 1/2 tsp Asian sesame oil

DIRECTIONS

Chop and crush garlic to make a paste. Grate ginger. Mix ingredients and then mix with beans. This is best if served cold.
