Why This Recipe Works

This everyday vegetable dish is a celebration of summer bounty and simple preparation. Diagonally cut beans are quickly cooked with caramelized shallots and ginger to keep their snap and bright flavor.

Instructions

Wait for the mustard seeds and curry leaves to crackle in hot oil, then stir-fry the garlic, chile, and ginger for 2 minutes. Add the shallots and cook for 15 minutes until they are golden and caramelized.

Incorporate the tomatoes, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture for a few minutes before adding the green beans and a splash of water.

Cover the pan and cook the beans for 6 to 8 minutes. You know they are ready when they have just lost their raw crunch but remain bright and tender.
